Bug Description

Hi,
on my 64-bit PC running Ubuntu 14.04 as virtual host and VirtualBox 4.3.36 as virtual environment I have installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit Desktop.

I did the following:
1. Fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 (few weeks ago).
2. Install/uninstall some programs.
3. Updated packages: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y
4. Then install snappy: sudo apt install snappy
5. So far no problem. Now I did the: snappy info
and got the following error:
==========================================
Adding file: info

==========================================

It looks like something is wrong.
Thanks
