Bug Description
This system uses a btrfs filesystem in combination with snapper.
Via the file ``/etc/
When using the update-manager i noticed 2 pre-snapshots are created at approximately the same time when upgrading. Leading to a snapper warning ``THROW: illegal snapshot`` for post upgrade actions.
In order to rule out ``snapper`` or ``apt`` as a source i tested the other methods (known to me) for upgrading packages, none of them showing the error (see table below):
================ | ==================
Case | # of pre snapshots
================ | ==================
Synaptic updates | 1
Update Manager | 2 <-
apt upgrade | 1
apt-get upgrade | 1
================ | ==================
I suspect the upgrade-manager makes 2 DPkg::Pre-Invoke calls when this happens. But i'm too unfamiliar with this package to do any real bug hunting.
