Ubuntu Software suddenly replaced with Snap Store; no longer shows deb packages

[Ben]

Both my computers, running Ubuntu 20.04, saw Ubuntu Software replaced with Snap Store. With this change, I am only able to browse and install snaps; not .deb packages.

I have confirmed via `snap info snap-store` that I am still tracking latest/stable/ubuntu-20.04

Same problem for me. In fact this issue has been going on since Beta.

Same thing. Ubuntu Software was replaced with Snap Store, doesn't autostart at boot anymore and shows only snap packages.

Is this the same one that I've reported almost simultaneously here https://bugs.launchpad.net/snap-store-desktop/+bug/1899377 ?

Hi all

For me same thing snap-store got to version 3.31.1+git187.84b64e0b and I noticed that I cant change some snaps channels or they are really old version of the snap.

Thank you for your bug report. Did the issue just start today? The snap didn't change for a while now so maybe something else was updated?

Could you do
$ snap changes
$ snap info snap-store | grep installed
$ snap version

and add those details to the report?

The version of snap-store in latest/stable/ubuntu-20.04 expired and reverted to stable over the weekend. This has been fixed now. Please run `snap refresh snap-store`.

That fixed it, thank you Marcus.

[Carlos Pita (carlosjosepita)]

Fixed, thanks for the prompt response!

Thanks you very much!!
