Thanks for the bug report.

The error is

> Run configure hook of "chromium" snap if present (run hook "configure": cannot locate base snap core20: No such file or directory)

This is probably a transient problem, or at least should be fixable with

  snap remove core20
  snap install core20

At any rate, in case you want to pursue this further, it not a problem with Chromium, but Snapd.
