Mathieu Benoit f32fa6c111 [FIX] qemu desktop: snap packages froze the build for 30 minutes
A graphical Ubuntu VM stopped making progress, with no error, on "Unable
to contact the store, trying every minute for the next 30 minutes".
Nothing in the log says why, and the install just looks stuck.

The cause is ours. We disable snapd a few lines earlier, to stop its
refreshes during the install. Then gnome-core recommends "firefox", which
on Ubuntu is only a transitional package whose postinst runs "snap
install" -- against a snapd we just stopped.

It is a RECOMMENDS, with alternatives. So we exclude the snap packages and
name epiphany-browser, a real .deb. Excluding firefox alone was not
enough: apt fell back to chromium-browser, a transitional package too, and
Cinnamon froze the same way on thunderbird. Measured on the VM: with this
list, GNOME (844 packages) and Cinnamon (1167) pull none, without an apt
error.

Une VM Ubuntu graphique cessait d'avancer, sans erreur, sur « Unable to
contact the store, trying every minute for the next 30 minutes ». Rien
dans le log n'en dit la raison, et l'installation paraît simplement figée.

La cause est nôtre. On coupe snapd quelques lignes plus haut, pour
empêcher ses rafraîchissements pendant l'installation. Puis gnome-core
recommande « firefox », qui n'est plus sur Ubuntu qu'un paquet de
transition dont le postinst lance « snap install » — contre un snapd qu'on
vient d'arrêter.

C'est un RECOMMENDS, avec alternatives. On écarte donc les paquets snap et
on nomme epiphany-browser, un vrai .deb. Écarter le seul firefox ne
suffisait pas : apt retombait sur chromium-browser, paquet de transition
lui aussi, et Cinnamon figeait pareillement sur thunderbird. Mesuré sur la
VM : avec cette liste, GNOME (844 paquets) et Cinnamon (1167) n'en tirent
aucun, sans erreur apt.
