[Bug 2097700] [NEW] Software Updater fails to update snaps

[Mikael Ståldal]

Public bug reported:

Software Updater (update-manager) updates APT packages as expected, but
in the end it says "updating snaps" and this takes a while, but it
doesn't do anything. I have to manually update snaps by running "snap
refresh" separately.

I expect it to update snaps as if running "snap refresh", or not even
try and avoid wasting time for nothing.
