Steps

Given a computer 0.258

And I start Tails from USB drive "__internal" and I login with persistence enabled and an administration password 2:53.268

And I configure APT to prefer an old version of cowsay 0.028

When I install an old version "3.03+dfsg2-1" of the cowsay package using apt 30.443

And I accept adding "cowsay" to Additional Software 8.098

And Additional Software is correctly configured for package "cowsay" 0.946

And I shutdown Tails and wait for the computer to power off 6.769

And I start Tails from USB drive "__internal" with network unplugged 1:22.969

And I enable persistence 17.223

# We need to add back this custom APT source for the Additional Software

# install step, as it was not saved in persistence

And I configure APT to prefer an old version of cowsay 0.046

# Prevent the "Warning: virtual machine detected!" notification from racing

# with the one we'll be interacting with below.

And I disable the tails-virt-notify-user.service user unit 0.097

And I log in to a new session 52.739

And the installed version of package "cowsay" is "3.03+dfsg2-1" after Additional Software has been started 32.246

And I revert the APT tweaks that made it prefer an old version of cowsay 0.058

# We remove the newest package after it has been downloaded and before

# it is installed, so that the upgrade process fails

And I prepare the Additional Software upgrade process to fail 0.079

And the network is plugged 0.138

And Tor is ready 24.549

And available upgrades have been checked 0.065

And I see the "The upgrade of your additional software failed" notification after at most 300 seconds 4.410

And I can open the Additional Software configuration window from the notification 2.765

And I shutdown Tails and wait for the computer to power off 18.020

And I start Tails from USB drive "__internal" with network unplugged 1:40.618
