Bug Description
I don't have the gimp installed on this computer, but thought I did.
alan@hal:~$ snap run gimp
error: cannot find current revision for snap gimp: readlink /snap/gimp/current: no such file or directory
Contrast this with what happens if I don't have the deb (or snap) installed and run via the traditional method.
alan@hal:~$ gimp
The program 'gimp' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt install gimp
Perhaps "snap run" could error more nicely than it does?
