This mess may take some time to clean up; if you run into it, hopefully the following advice can get you on the right path again:
First, you have to decide if you want to use the snap DNA analysis tool or if you want to use the snappy packaging format. There's currently no way for the two to co-exist on a system short of using a VM or LXC/LXD container. Second, apt-get purge the one that you _don't_ want: - sudo apt-get purge snap # if you want to keep the packaging system - sudo apt-get purge snapd # if you want to keep the DNA analysis tool Third, you'll probably have to clean up the remaining package. Try something like: - sudo apt-get --reinstall install snapd # if you want to keep the packaging system - sudo apt-get --reinstall install snap # if you want to keep the DNA analysis tool Fourth, you may have other unrelated apt problems; try something like: - sudo apt-get install -f - sudo apt-get upgrade Hopefully this will result in a happy apt package status again.
