cannot locate the base snap: ubuntu-core: No such file or directory
I’m experiencing the above error whenever I try to run any snap on OpenSUSE. It’s similar to this other issue which was resolved by running sudo snap refresh core, but with a few differences: My /snap/core directory contains a broken symlink current that points to a nonexistent 2844, and running sudo snap refresh core returns snap "core" has no updates available.
snap version:
snap 2.27.6-1.1
snapd 2.27.6-1.1
series 16

I was able to resolve the problem by doing the following:
sudo snap uninstall core
sudo snap install core
