Comment 3 for bug 1874901

Hi, team --

The snapd issue doesn't cause me grief on my working system, but this
does. I'm going to have to revert to 18.04.4 soon in order to keep my
regular work going.

I'll keep this up for now, but I can't even install KVM without the
dms-core crashing the package install, so I am challenged to stay put
for long. Figure that Monday I'll re-install 18.04.

I see that several others are seeingh the same situation, so I hope
you have enough input to be able to squish this buggly critter! :D
