Package dependency problems

[John G Heim]

Well, I would imagine other people are going to run into this problem as 
time goes by. I suspect that if the new chromium-browser package that 
depends on snapd hasn't made it to the latest debian release, it will 
soon. So here is the hook I wrote to work around the problem. I am 
calling it instsoft.EOAN.

#! /bin/bash
$ROOTCMD dpkg-divert --add --rename --divert /usr/bin/snap.real 
/usr/bin/snap
$ROOTCMD rm -f /usr/bin/snap
$ROOTCMD ln -s /bin/true /usr/bin/snap
# EOF
