Public bug reported:
It appears that when a requesting to install a snap that requires
devmode without passing --devmode that the snap does not exist, rather
than that installing the snap requires passing --devmode.
For example:
> sudo snap install --beta ubuntu-image
[sudo] password for chris:
error: cannot install "ubuntu-image": snap not found
> sudo snap install --beta --devmode ubuntu-image
ubuntu-image (beta) 0.12+real1 from 'canonical' installed
I'd expect attempting to install ubuntu-image without passing --devmode
would result in an error saying that the snap requires --devmode rather
than an error saying the snap doesn't exist.
