Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Bug reporting is mostly about finding & fixing problems thus preventing future users from hitting the same bug. I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709 Launchpad tracks issues with deb packages (https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/chromium-browser); snapd (https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd) etc, but not snaps such as what you're filing the report about. For details on snaps like you're issue please look at https://snapcraft.io/chromium where bug reporting info can be found at the bottom; I'll change this to package to snapd. Please execute the following command only once, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal: apport-collect 1953069 When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu- bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs. ** Package changed: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) => snapd (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1953069 Title: chromium snap install fail Status in snapd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Install of chromium from the Ubuntu software store fails with "Unable to perform the following tasks:" but nothing detailing what those failed tasks might be.
