ok thanks that worked a treat. Running snap directly there was a progress indicator so i could see that snap downloads are very very very slow. 200kb/s. I'm on a a basic residential 100Mbits fibre line, so apt downloading deps from the ubuntu mirror is usually quick, 10MB/s. So the snap download is 50x slower than what i am used to.
So download 50x slower than usual, and no progress indicator, made me think it was hung when i probably should have just waited half an hour. Normal download speed from apt upgrade straight after the snap install: The following packages will be upgraded: libnss3 snapd 2 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
