The version of apt-btrfs-snapshot in the proposed pocket of Xenial that
was purported to fix this bug report has been removed because the bugs
that were to be fixed by the upload were not verified in a timely (105
days) fashion.

** Changed in: apt-btrfs-snapshot (Ubuntu Xenial)
       Status: Fix Committed => Won't Fix

Title:
  apt-btrfs-snapshot supported reports "Sorry, your system lacks support
  for the snapshot feature" since update of btrfs-tools to 4.0-2  in
  debian/testing

Status in apt-btrfs-snapshot package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apt-btrfs-snapshot source package in Xenial:
  Won't Fix
Status in apt-btrfs-snapshot source package in Yakkety:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  apt-btrfs-snapshot is unable to detect the btrfs binary, rendering the package completely useless. The symptom is that the package claims the system was not supported despite having root on btrfs

  [Test Case]
  root@halde:~# apt-btrfs-snapshot supported
  Supported

  [Regression Potential]
  Unclear

  
  Original Report follows:
  I' using apt-btrfs-snapshot in debian testing and wit worked fine since now.
  (Yes, that's debian, but I think it's likely that this change will come to ubuntu sooner or later, please read on.)

  In version 4.0-2, the debian package of apt-btrfs-snapshot, moved the
  btrfs binary from /sbin to /bin, see

  http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/b/btrfs-tools
  /btrfs-tools_4.0-2_changelog

  This lets the check of apt-btrfs-snapshot fail.

  I suggest enhancing the check in  snapshots_supported() at line 122 to
  check both paths /sbin/btrfs and /bin/btrfs to make it work again.
