[impact]

some autopkgtests, like 'snapd' and 'docker.io', rely on snaps in their autopkgtests. Recently, something happened and those autopkgtests now do not have the 'core' snap installed - or, it's installed, but 'broken'.

Specifically, there is no /snap/core/ so no snaps can run, since they rely on the core snap for their interpreter (/snap/core/current/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2).

[test case]

look at any of the recent snapd autopkgtests, e.g.:
https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac/autopkgtest-cosmic/cosmic/amd64/s/snapd/20190410_125933_3cfed@/log.gz

+ /snap/bin/go get -u github.com/snapcore/spread/cmd/spread
/snap/go/3540/gowrapper: line 3: /snap/go/3540/bin/go: No such file or directory

[regression potential]

TBD; fix unknown

[other info]

this might only be happening on cosmic, although the bionic tests are failing as well, but slightly differently, e.g.:
