Public bug reported:
When I try to install the TPM snap from the edge channel I get the
following output:
$ snap install tpm --channel=edge
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Download snap "tpm" from channel "edge" (snap not found)
The mistake here is that I forgot --devmode as the snap is published
with "confinement: devmode" but the error message is misleading here.
For the filtering (channel==edge && confinement==struct) its ok to say
"snap not found" but the user doesn't know he did wrong. We should
extend this and say that he may want to add --devmode to install the
snap if its only provided with "confinement: devmode".
