How to stop a snap package downloading
Not right now, though once the download has completed, snapd will abort the operation as requested.
Note that the client is supposed to abort the operation when you ctrl+c it-- this is a known bug.
Update: This bug was fixed in snapd v2.20.1.
This is a known bug, but you can zircumvent it with CTRL + Z (pause in background) and then kill the process with:
kill -kill $(pgrep snap -la|grep -v /usr/lib/snapd/snapd|cut -d\ -f1)
best way is to run:
$snap changes
then:
$snap abort id
id will be provided when you run snap changes
