No, because there are two bugs. One affects people using Snap, and goes away
when they remove the Snap backend. The other one (this one) is not about that
and persists even if you don't have Snap at all.

That means you are affected by both Bug 500513 and this one.

This sounds very bad, but it's not a KDE issue. It would be something coming
from the distro's packaging. Please do bring it up with them.

Clearly. But you're on a technical bug tracker which is for tracking specific
technical bugs. Since there are multiple bugs, they need to be tracked
separately.

Definitely not! Feel free to be a part of the solution by helping to fix the
issue. And afterwards, you can help make sure it doesn't happen again by adding
relevant autotests and integration tests.

If you aren't capable of performing those actions, then the next most helpful
thing you can do is avoid making too much noise in Bugzilla that distracts and
de-motivates the developers (who for Discover are all volunteers!)  who *are*
capable of resolving the issue.

Thanks for understanding! No need to reply unless you have new information that
can help developers fix the bug.
