I do not believe there is any path to successfully install snapd on a
14.04 desktop system. Only one of systemd and systemd-shim can own the
systemd dbus services; systemd doesn't implement them in a way that will
work with upstart as pid1, which means we need systemd-shim to own them
so that the desktop consumers of the services will function; and it's
intrusive surgery to make systemd work without registering them.
This was a known limitation when the SRU went through, and it was
allowed because the understood target for snapd on 14.04 was
server/cloud environments, not desktops. Has that changed?
** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Incomplete
