Having this problem with a new multipass based 20.04 VM - when I try to restart snapd.seeded.service, it hangs for about 5 mintues then errors out with:
==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units ===
Authentication is required to restart 'snapd.seeded.service'.
Authenticating as: Ubuntu (ubuntu)

See system logs and 'systemctl status snapd.seeded.service' for details.

A purge -> install via apt seems to work fine though.
