Bug Description
I tested installing Eoan with an iso dated 20190606 and in the advanced partitioning setup the minimum recommended / partition root size (5.6 GB I believe). After the installation completed and I rebooted I was immediately presented with a dialog indicating there was a lack of free space. There was only 74M of free space and it seems likely that updates of debs and snaps will fail, let alone trying to install anything extra.
N.B. this is different than the minimum disk size which is actually 8.6 GB for 18.04.2.

I also tested installing an Ubuntu 18.04 system using the original (no point release) 18.04 iso file. I installed with a 5 GB root partition (I'd used something smaller earlier and it never booted), then ran update-manager and was presented with a dialog indicating I didn't have enough free space to install the updates.
