Hi, thanks for raising this.

Could you please tell in which OS version it is reproduced and if it happens with any snap?

Hi,

OS is: Linux 6.2.0-36-generic #37~22.04.1-Ubuntu x86_64 x86_64 x86_64
GNU/Linux

Affected snaps are firefox, code and vlc. See the attached shell output
for details. The output is from the day I submitted the error. In the
meantime I have deleted the superfluous files to keep the system running.

Thanks in advance!
