Bug Description
When a snap installation fails e. g. due to errors in the `install` hook, and this snap uses the layouts feature, namespaces that were created for this snap are not discarded after snapd aborts the installation process.
Subsequent attempts to install a snap with the same name, i. e. a new fixed revision, will throw “No such file or directory” when the snap tries to access layout-mapped paths.
Installation works fine after rebooting the system, which presumably discards namespaces.
