Comment 5 for bug 2019158

However, snap updated successfully when I closed firefox and sudo snap
refresh. So there is no problem with snap doing the update the legacy way.
It just is not updating when the app closes. It's not just me, it's mostly
everyone (see discussion on snapcraft:
https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/snapd-2-59-2-in-place-updates-not-working-firefox-beta/35081/8
)

For me, this is trivial to reproduce. I have this problem in all four
ubuntu desktop installs, I use, two on 22.04 and two on 23.04.

The one I am using for this ticket is a vanilla VM install.

I am glad you are looking into it, and I hope we can work out what is wrong.

 here is me manually updating it.
This always works. On my of those Ubuntu installs, I am using the beta
channel because it updates so often, it seems like a good test of this
problem.
It never updates when the application closes, not once. And it always
updates the legacy method (that is, by cli invocation after I close the
browser processes).
