To unblock yourself, you can install your snap with --devmode and then you
shouldn't be blocked.

If you are trying to make your snap work in strict confinement, you need to plug
an interface that uses the system bus. If your script is trying to use a well-
known service like network-manager, you need only 'plugs: [ network-manager ]'
and then connect your snap to it with the 'snap connect' command. If you are
implementing a new system service, a new interface will need to be created for
it or you can soon try out the about-to-land 'dbus' interface[1].
