Problem installing Riseup-VPN via Snap

Hello, I have encountered a problem when installing riseup-vpn via snap, in appvm in my qubes os.

I created a minimal debian-11 template and installed security enhancements from the kicksecure team into it, then I installed the packages qubes-core-agent-networking and snapd along with qubes-snapd-helper. After that I started installing riseup vpn with snap install --classic riseup-vpn and at the end I keep getting an error:

user@sys-vpn:~$ sudo snap install --classic riseup-vpn 2022-05-16T22:05:13-04:00 INFO Waiting for automatic snapd restart… error: cannot perform the following tasks:

  • Run install hook of “riseup-vpn” snap if present (run hook “install”:

Traceback (most recent call last): File “/snap/riseup-vpn/179/meta/hooks/install”, line 26, in subprocess.call([‘update-desktop-database’]) File “/usr/lib/python3.9/subprocess.py”, line 349, in call with Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs) as p: File “/usr/lib/python3.9/subprocess.py”, line 951, in init self._execute_child(args, executable, preexec_fn, close_fds, File “/usr/lib/python3.9/subprocess.py”, line 1823, in _execute_child raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg, err_filename) FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘update-desktop-database’ -----)

Maybe someone has encountered this? I’ve already tried installing qubes-core-agent-passwordless-root and different versions of python, but I still get the same error.

Thank you.
