How do I solve this error on Ubuntu Hirsute Hippo (21.04)?

Unable to update "Core 18": snap has no updates available"

Screenshot of Error Updating Core 18

It's already installed as I check with the terminal:

    sudo snap install core18

snap "core18" is already installed, see 'snap help refresh'

I also try snap refresh


    sudo snap refresh
    All snaps up to date.

and I try with Ubuntu Software again and can't update it.

and I can't remove it as I use it by chromium and Libre Office


    sudo snap remove core18

error: cannot remove "core18": snap "core18" is not removable: snap is being
       used by snaps chromium, gnome-3-28-1804, gnome-3-34-1804,
       gtk-common-themes, libreoffice and 1 more.

when I try to refresh it on the terminal, no update.

sudo snap refresh core18
snap "core18" has no updates available

I belive this maybe a bug with Ubuntu Software

It seems 20.04 was hit with this as well. Maybe the bug filtered itself into 21.04 as well?

I would recommend to purge Snapd completely in four steps:

  1. Save the list of installed snaps by running

    snap list

  2. Purge snapd

    sudo apt-get autopurge snapd

  3. Reinstall Snap

    sudo apt-get install snapd

  4. Reinstall snaps using list from no. 1
