snap revert snap-store brings me back to 3.36.0-80-g208fd61

[gpredrag (gavrilovic)]

In my case snap revert brings me to nonfuctional version:

Did it just happen again? Or is it an error on my end

[Paul White (paulw2u)]

Further to comment #4, same here.

I'm also seeing the Snap Store icon when searching for applications which I seem to recall I shouldn't be seeing in Ubuntu 20.04.

[Paul White (paulw2u)]

Further to my comment #4, 'sudo snap revert snap-store' seems to have successfully reverted the change and the 'Snap Store' has been replaced by 'Ubuntu Software'.

[Decio Della Fortuna (decio-dellafortuna)]

Same situation as gpredrag (gavrilovic), 'sudo snap revert snap-store' revert snap-store to a non functional version of Ubuntu Software.
