Fix now in ppa:ubuntu-desktop/gnome-software (snapd-glib 1.24-0ubuntu1~ppa1). For me now I can install on first attempt.
I tested with: 1. Remove existing core snap (removes ALL snaps on your system) $ sudo apt purge snapd $ sudo apt install snapd 2. Restart GNOME Software $ killall gnome-software 3.

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.
