The solution is just not to use snaps. Snap is trash. Consider PPAs if you need the most recent version of a particular piece of software.

In my experience PPAs often break on upgrades

Traditionally there is some manual work to do in updating ppas to point to the new release but apparently assistance also exists for the lazy

You can also set RELEASE_UPGRADER_ALLOW_THIRD_PARTY=1 before running the updater to allow third party repos to remain enabled during upgrade.
