--- Comment #2 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
The problem is that there are so many ways this can fail, and Discover can't
know what it is; the error message comes from the backend, and as your
screenshot shows, it can be translated, so Discover can't even rely on string
keyword matching to try to guess what the error might be.

Discover could anticipate and prevent known error conditions ahead of time
though. For example, if we know that a Snap can't be updated while running,
Discover could check for that. Let's make the bug report about that
specifically.
