Bug description:
I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 19.10 with the new snap version of
Chromium a week or two ago
On starting my system today, I found that Chromium had disappeared
from the launcher and wasn't even in the apps list. using the
command 'chromium' didn't work either, giving me the message that
chromium wasn't installed. "You can install it using snap install
chromium". Then when I try to install it, I get the message "chromium
is already installed".
After about 10 minutes of digging around, I discovered that the
chromium snap was disabled. I couldn't enable it because it was being
refreshed.
Come on! this is unacceptable behaviour for any tool but especially a
browser which must be one of the most heavily used applications on
Ubuntu. This will really hit the reputation of ubuntu with any user
who has to take maybe more than 10 minutes to discover the problem, or
may never discover it - Chromium may just mysteriously reappear some
time later.
Desired behaviour: Never disappear. Allow refresh to happen under the
covers, transparently (as it used to with apt).
Minimally acceptable behaviour: never disappear, but display a message
"chromium is being refreshed. Please try later".
