Description

Every software which I am trying to install with snap display to me this error.

error: cannot perform the following tasks:

I tried install through this guide https://www.kali.org/docs/tools/snap/ and It worked just fine until 2/3 days ago.

Just try to install anything available on https://snapcraft.io

Or in my case one example is this

Hi, apparently this has been reported on Debian's side (Kali gets this package straight from Debian):

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=993233

It seems like the problem is solved in that later version of snapd in Debian unstable, the version 2.51.7-1.

I imported the package from Debian unstable into Kali rolling, so for anyone having this issue, updating your Kali install should fix it:

<pre>apt update && apt -y upgrade</pre>

@Uknown thanks a lot for the report!
