Snapd papercuts initiative

And another papercut: let’s fix a misleading message when refresh to revision no published on the current track

When doing snap refresh -revision with the revision being available on a different track, the message is misleading (e.g. when following track latest/stable and the revision is available on latest/candidate)

Channel latest/stable for thunderbird is closed; temporarily forwarding to candidate.

So I guess the message actually means ‘Revision 769 for thunderbird is not available on channel latest/stable; it is currently published on channel latest/candidate.’ or ‘Revision 769 for thunderbird was never published on channel latest/stable; temporarily forwarding to candidate.’. Also the ‘temporarily forwarding’ is a bit cryptic. But it may make sense, depending on how the store is implemented.

Edit: I added a bug report for this snap refresh - confusing messages when using specific revisions
