'snap disable foobar' seems to replicate the same behavior. Kyle suggested to me on IRC this is analogous to an update.

Not analogous so much as probably the part of the update that's causing this behavior. The icons disappearing when `snap disable` is run seems sensible, but they should stick around with an upgrade.

Indeed. Would be good to have some help from the Unity team here.

This is still reproducible on 2.27.2 (I used Ubuntu 16.04 running Unity 7)

$ sudo snap install lonewolf

Search and pin lonewolf launcher

$ sudo snap disable lonewolf

The launcher goes away

$ sudo snap enable lonewolf

The launcher stays gone.

On top of that it feels like an unity bug, searching for "lonewolf" again doesn't yield any hits. The actual desktop file (found in /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/lonewolf_lonewolf.desktop) exists and hast the same content as before.

Changed in snapd:
