Title:
  update-manager tries to update snaps even if snaps are not installed

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On my laptop running Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa, the update manager
  tries for several minutes to update snaps every time the update-
  manager is used.

  This operation is pointless, because I have removed all snaps from my
  installation and do not run the snapd deamon.

  The update manager should check whether snapd is running at all, and
  if not, it should not try to update snaps, because they are apparently
  not in use.

  Currently resorting to not using the update manager, because it never ends...
  apt works perfectly.
