Unable to install snap packages [closed]
I have tried installing snap store or any other snap packages but i keep getting an error : error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Mount snap “snap-store” (558) (snap “snap-store” assumes unsupported features: snapd2.43 (try to update snapd and refresh the core snap))
I’ve tried to both remove snap a reinstall it, I have tried updating snap and everything seems to be fine and yet it will still not install snap packages.
snap version:
- snap 2.37.4-1+b1
- snapd 2.37.4-1+b1
- series 16
- deepin 20.3
- kernel 5.10.60-amd64-desktop
You are running an ancient* version of snapd - current version is 2.53.4**.
As suggested in comment, purge and reinstall snapd to fix this:
sudo apt-get purge snapd
sudo apt-get install snapd
Be sure to update your packages regularly, either by unattended upgrades, or by running:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
* Software older than 1 year is in fact ancient.
