tested on dx6120 xubuntu 18.10 using -proposed...

I was able to search & install leafpad, gedit (non-snap version selected) & xscorch

I ran it from CLI - HOWEVER it didn't return as expected to bash ($) prompt - needing me to eventually ^C to get my prompt back. Output follows, but on another term I queried and saw

No idea if this is an issue ... I re-ran it again, searched for leafpad, cancelled and searched for mpv, then exited (no installs). It hung this time too ..
