Hello errors.ubuntu.com, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnome-initial-setup into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-initial-setup/3.28.0-2ubuntu6.16.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Can you please add a test case to verify this SRU and an explanation of the crash? Comment #1 is not enough. Thanks.

SRU verification for Bionic:
I cannot reproduce the problem with gnome-initial-setup 3.28.0-2ubuntu6.1 in bionic-updates but I have verified that the version of gnome-initial-setup 3.28.0-2ubuntu6.16.04.1 in -proposed doesn't introduce any regression and doesn't crash when snapd is not installed or is removed.

Marking as verification-done

The new version of the package does not appear in the error bucket so that's good too.
