The following non-fatal error is output during snap-confine installation:
dpkg: error: --compare-versions takes three arguments: <version> <relation> <version>

Below log is from a manual install to reproduce the issue, but this first occurred during upgrade of snapd/ubuntu-core-launcher on xenial-proposed which caused snap-confine to be installed.
