Installation: cannot locate the core snap

1

I have followed these instructions to install Inkscape: https://inkscape.org/en/download/linux/

sudo apt install snapd
snap install inkscape

I now run as:

/snap/bin/inkscape

but I receive the following error:

cannot locate the core snap: No such file or directory

The command:

snap list

gives:

Name          Version        Rev    Developer   Notes
core            16-2         1689   canonical -
inkscape        0.92.1       2527   inkscape -

If i do:

sudo snap refresh core

I receive:

snap "core" has no updates available

Can you help me please to install this program?

Thanks

Hey, can you please tell us which version of snapd and distribution are you on?

Please run snap version and paste the result here.

Sure,

~$ snap version
snap    2.25~14.04
snapd   2.25~14.04
series  16
ubuntu  14.04
kernel  4.4.0-79-generic

Thank you for providing this. I’ll try to reproduce it and investigate.

For what it’s worth this works on my 14.04 system, but I’ve had snapd installed on it for some time. Perhaps this needs re-testing on a clean 14.04 system?

I have uninstalled and installed again, and it works now. Thanks
