Can't update snapd - cannot parse owner: root

snapd
1 
sudo snap install hello-world

error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Mount snap "snapd" (23258) (cannot parse owner: "root/                    95 2024-10-12 18:06 ."; contact developer)

I get this error for any snap I try to install.

This problem started after I upgraded Ubuntu from version 23.10 to 24.04. Everything else works in the system, just snapd couldn’t update anymore.

I wonder what kind of problem is this, snapd related or system related?

Any pointers to try fix this?

Snapd version: 2.66.1+24.04 on Ubuntu 24.04.1

Thank you.
