Public bug reported:
Instructions from snapcraft.io (and what makes sense from an user
perspective):
1. Install hello from the stable channel:
$ snap install hello
Name Version Rev Developer Notes
hello 2.10 20 canonical -
2. upgrade to the beta channel
$ snap install hello --channel=beta
error: cannot install "hello": snap "hello" already installed
-> This should switch to the beta channel, and install the latest
"hello" snap published there.
People for now have to:
$ snap remove hello
Done
$ snap install hello --channel=beta
Name Version Rev Developer Notes
hello 2.10.1 29 canonical -
to get this working.
