Invalid reporting of snap install state in store view

[Alexandre Abreu]

The store view lists the snaps that are found in the store. This list can intersect with the list of installed snaps but the former does not properly report the installed state for the snap (in the case where the snap is already installed).

[Jamie Bennett (jamiebennett)]

I see snaps that are already install in the Store view have a "Remove" button rather than an "Install" button. What behaviour do you expect?

[Alexandre Abreu (abreu-alexandre)]

I dont see that on my side ... I see all having an 'install' button ...

@Jamie: are you running snapweb locally on a desktop host?

[Jamie Bennett (jamiebennett)]

Yes. Ubuntu 16.04 on a laptop with SnapWeb installed locally.

I see the same; the store view displays install, the preview for installed apps shows Remove or Installed. I also see broken icons in the store view once a snap is installed.

[Alexandre Abreu (abreu-alexandre)]

@Pat: same for me,

I have a fix (in a github branch) but I'd like to see what happens in Jamie's case,

The broken icon issue I see it too, I have to think of a fix (I see the cause) & review the way they are currently managed (in a bit of an error prone way)
