I've previously uninstalled snapd and installed a non-snap Firefox from ppa:mozillateam/ppa. I'm trying to keep it this way, but my FF was just auto-updated to a snap version, and snapd was auto-installed again. How can I prevent it?
I have a file with following contents to prevent snapd installation, at /etc/apt/preferences.d/nosnap.pref:
Package: snapd
Pin: release a=*
Pin-Priority: -10
I also have /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozillateam.pref with following contents:
Package: firefox*
Pin: release o=LP-PPA-mozillateam
Pin-Priority: 1001
This doesn't seem to work anymore. My non-snap firefox was just auto-updated to a snap version, with snapd being installed automatically.
Interestingly, sudo apt autoremove snap rolled the firefox back to a non-snap version, and sudo apt update says there's nothing to update.
On the other hand, sudo apt install snapd --dry-run no longer seems to be blocked by by the above config files.
Not sure if it matters, but apt-cache policy -q | grep snap prints following, among other things:
snapd -> 2.55.5+22.04 с приоритетом 1
snapd -> 2.55.3+22.04 с приоритетом -10
As requested, the output of apt-cache policy snapd:
apt-cache policy snapd
snapd:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 2.55.5+22.04
Version table:
2.55.5+22.04 1 (phased 70%)

Interestingly, I tried it on a different machine (which didn't receive this auto-update), and there 2.55.5+22.04 had pin priority -10, not 1, and was marked as (phased 80%).
