[Tushar Gupta <mp+476313@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tushar Gupta has proposed merging ~tushar5526/launchpad-buildd:wait-for-snap-seeding-to-finish-for-lxd-builds into launchpad-buildd:master.

Requested reviews:
  Launchpad code reviewers (launchpad-reviewers)

For more details, see:

Noble by default, comes with a lxd-installer-service which installs LXD snap (if not
installed already) whenever a user runs any lxc command. riscv64 emulated builders
takes upto 2 minutes for snap seeding to complete and in the meantime buildd starts
in the background and begins executing LXD commands which in-turn calls the
lxd-installer-service that also tries to install LXD. This leads to the build crashing
with race condition errors and the build failing with CHROOT errors.
