Ubuntu unmet dependencies

[weirdygeekpsych]

I update to ubuntu 18 from 16 LTS

And now I get the following errors whenever I update

Checking connectivity with the snap store
==> Installing the LXD snap from the latest track for ubuntu-18.10
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Run install hook of "lxd" snap if present (run hook "install": /var/lib/snapd not root-owned 1001:1000)
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/lxd_1%3a0.4_all.deb (--unpack):
new lxd package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

I am seeing there is a bug report on this issue, though there is no workaround listed, yet. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...d/+bug/1807856

I also found this https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/3664 with the following text possibly fixing the error;

For future reference:
After aborting the do-release-upgrade script I was left with a working system, just had a broken lxd. These two lines fixed that:

sudo dpkg --force depends -P lxd
sudo dpkg --force depends -P lxd-client

Then sudo apt upgrade finishes up the upgrade

This link, https://askubuntu.com/questions/1119...the-snap-store offers the same advice given in the above quote.

I hope this is helpful.
