Bug Description
Trying to install a snap that doesn't exist in the store provides a fine error message:
$ sudo snap install nonexistent
error: snap "nonexistent" not found
[1]
Trying to install a snap by specifying capital letter gives a different, somewhat confusing error:
$ sudo snap install namewithCAPS
error: cannot install "namewithCAPS": invalid instance name: invalid snap name:
[1]
It is unclear why it is reporting about both an invalid instance name and snap name.
