Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Ugh... I'm on a device with a HD that's too small for an install. I thought I'd be able to experiment in the live session... guess not.

This was fixed at some point. There still is a blocker for snap apps to actually run though - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1751667

*Fixed in Bionic* (didn't retest other releases)
