Tested by installing libreoffice. I CTRL+C’ed it. It starts in snap changes like this:

1121  Doing   2017-11-17T15:50:40Z  -                     Install "libreoffice" snap

After pressing CTRL+C it looks like this:

1121  Error   2017-11-17T15:50:40Z  2017-11-17T15:51:18Z  Install "libreoffice" snap
