Comment 8 for bug 1919929

Interesting and valid point on the snap cohorts. Cohorts are provided as a primitive by snapd and coordinated by the charms, which doesn't exist in debian land. Additionally, the functionality and dependencies are contained within the snap. Strictly confined snaps Debian packages don't have this snapshot view across servers.

This being said, it is clearly a valid feature request against the charms to be able to detect which versions of packages are installed and report when there is a discrepancy. Regardless of where or how the solution might be implemented, it is a valid feature request.
