Solution 1:

I had the same error - i picked up beta version using this command:

"snap install microstack --classic --beta" and it worked. There is another choice is to pick up an earlier version's edge using:

"snap install microstack --classic --channel=rocky/edge" - that also succeeded. I decided to stick with beta.

Solution 2:

Even the --beta did not work for me as it than hangs in RabbitMQ in the next steps.

Try

sudo snap install microstack --devmode --edge
