Cannot start Previsat after installing via apt

[Emilien Klein]

Situation:
----------

I have done a new/fresh install of Previsat on my Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit.
When starting Previsat for the first time, it complains that the data folder does not exist, and points to a folder containing snapd in the path (see attachment).
The error message informs that Previsat should be reinstalled (which I did, still same issue).

After clicking on OK on the error message, the program crashes with a segfault.
Starting it again shows an error message that the software is already running. Relaunching after that gets you back to the first error message, then the segfault, then error about already running. We're in some kind of loop ;(

Temporary solution:
-------------------

I have solved this (temporarily) by symlinking the folder that Previsat looks at to the folder where the data was really installed on my machine:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/share/Astropedia /var/lib/snapd/desktop/Astropedia

Long-term solution:
-------------------

But the correct solution would be to have Previsat look at /usr/share/Astropedia instead of /var/lib/snapd/desktop/Astropedia
(I find it peculiar that Previsat would be looking for something in a Snap folder, when it was installed via Apt and not Snap...)
