Yup, you are hit by the issue described in here:

  http://askubuntu.com/questions/878750/snapd-package-conflicts-with-xorg-packages/878770#878770

In summary, we are waiting for an SRU (see [1]) for the xorg xenial lts stack to
arrive in -updates. The short term fix is to enable -proposed. If that
does not solve your issue, please report a bug against
https://launchpad.net/snapd tagging it with trusty.

Thanks for trying out snapd on trusty,

  Thomas
