The fix for this will be in snapd-glib, it was never built with the assumption that snapd would restart in the middle of a transaction... This is somewhat tricky to add because we have to be careful for things to fail fast if snapd is not installed, but handle a restart during a transaction (which may never come back).

On a freshly installed system when snapd has never been used or initialized before (ie core is not installed) open gnome-software 2. Select a snap 3. Install it 4. Wait until it is installed Actual result At some point gnome-software reports an error "Installation failed: connection reset by peer" It was actually installing core, restarted snapd, then the package. But gnome-software reports the error when snapd is restarted, loses the connection to the daemon and does not track the progress of the installation of the snap package Expected result It reports the installation of core then the installation of the snap package, or report everything in a single transaction but in any case does not report an error since everything is going as expected.
