Steps
Given I have started Tails without network from a USB drive with a persistent partition enabled and logged in 11.921
And no SquashFS delta is installed 0.081
And Tails is fooled to think that version 6.0~testoverlayfs was initially installed 0.237
And Tails is fooled to think it is running version 6.0~testoverlayfs 0.039
And the file system changes introduced in version 6.2~testoverlayfs are not present 0.250
And the file system changes introduced in version 6.3~testoverlayfs are not present 0.392
When the network is plugged 0.057
And Tor is ready 19.930
Then I am proposed to install an incremental upgrade to version 6.2~testoverlayfs 0.695
And I can successfully install the incremental upgrade to version 6.2~testoverlayfs 7.556
Given I shutdown Tails and wait for the computer to power off 8.266
When I start Tails from USB drive "__internal" with network unplugged and I login with persistence enabled 1:23.420
Then Tails is running version 6.2~testoverlayfs 0.017
And all tps features are active 2.742
And the file system changes introduced in version 6.2~testoverlayfs are present 0.305
And only the 6.2~testoverlayfs SquashFS delta is installed 0.071
# Our IUK sets a release date that can make Tor bootstrapping impossible
Given Tails system time is magically synchronized 0.194
# 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 0.276
When the network is plugged 0.064
And Tor is ready 12.745
Then I am proposed to install an incremental upgrade to version 6.3~testoverlayfs 1.878
And I can successfully install the incremental upgrade to version 6.3~testoverlayfs 5.786
Given I shutdown Tails and wait for the computer to power off 7.924
