Bug Description
artful desktop
Test Case:
1. Search atom (or any classic snap) and install it
Actual result
It is not installable in gnome-software and fails without a user visible error message.
Expected result
When a classic snap is installed from the command line, there is a warning message that explains the risk and asks the user to repeat the installation with --classic if he understood the message.
In gnome-software it just fails without any message. There are several options:
1. Do not show classic snaps
2. Show the warning and the user must acknowledge before proceeding with the installation, in which case the snap is installed in classic mode.
