Steps
Given I have started Tails without network from a USB drive with a persistent partition enabled and logged in 8.324
And no SquashFS delta is installed 0.059
And Tails is fooled to think that version 6.0~testoverlayfs was initially installed 0.185
And Tails is fooled to think it is running version 6.0~testoverlayfs 0.040
And the file system changes introduced in version 6.2~testoverlayfs are not present 0.212
And the file system changes introduced in version 6.3~testoverlayfs are not present 0.275
When the network is plugged 0.025
And Tor is ready 12.887
Then I am proposed to install an incremental upgrade to version 6.2~testoverlayfs 6.204
And I can successfully install the incremental upgrade to version 6.2~testoverlayfs 32:23.082
