Cannot install snap on Linux Mint 21.3


Can someone please tell me how I resolve this.

Thanks!


sean@sean-desktop:~$ snap --version

Command 'snap' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install snapd

sean@sean-desktop:~$ sudo apt install snapd

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package snapd is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'snapd' has no installation candidate

Its purposely blocked in apt preferences. You can remove the preference file if you really want it, then install snapd, and use snap to install the snap store if you want that.

(Same procedure to enable it as Mint)
