Steps
Given I have started Tails without network from a USB drive with a persistent partition enabled and logged in 13.464
And no SquashFS delta is installed 0.095
And Tails is fooled to think that version 6.0~testoverlayfs was initially installed 0.277
And Tails is fooled to think it is running version 6.0~testoverlayfs 0.059
And the file system changes introduced in version 6.2~testoverlayfs are not present 0.307
And the file system changes introduced in version 6.3~testoverlayfs are not present 0.427
When the network is plugged 0.076
And Tor is ready 15.436
Then I am proposed to install an incremental upgrade to version 6.2~testoverlayfs 2.177
And I can successfully install the incremental upgrade to version 6.2~testoverlayfs 8.111
Given I shutdown Tails and wait for the computer to power off 11.990

Then Tails is running version 6.2~testoverlayfs 0.011
And all tps features are active 2.495
And the file system changes introduced in version 6.2~testoverlayfs are present 0.279
And only the 6.2~testoverlayfs SquashFS delta is installed 0.057
# Our IUK sets a release date that can make Tor bootstrapping impossible
Given Tails system time is magically synchronized 0.150
# We'll really install Tails_amd64_6.0~testoverlayfs_to_6.3~testoverlayfs.iuk
# but we need some way to force upgrading a second time in a row
# even if only the initially installed version is considered
And Tails is fooled to think that version 6.1~testoverlayfs was initially installed 0.294
When the network is plugged 0.065
And Tor is ready 11.693
Then I am proposed to install an incremental upgrade to version 6.3~testoverlayfs 1.955
And I can successfully install the incremental upgrade to version 6.3~testoverlayfs 5.548
