    I experienced the same thing (had previously uninstalled libreoffice, but it came back after the update). I didn’t get snapd back fortunately (though I do use Firefox packaged by Pop).

    Part of the change is that Pop!_OS is moving away from ubuntu-minimal and ubuntu-standard meta packages and towards their own metapackages as shown in this this recent commit.

    After the update, I simply uninstalled libreoffice… hopefully it doesn’t return in the next update :]

      Yes, the solution for me was to remove those ubuntu-* meta packages, reinstall what I needed by hand then update. Simple things like ftp, telnet, time, etc. had to be reinstalled.

      I was kind of nervous on the reboot since a plymouth theme was removed in addition to adding a newer kernel with the amd microcode patch, but it came up fine.
