Public bug reported:
Hello -- This is a clean Ubuntu 10.10 install onto a new disk. For many
days now I've been clicking on the calculator. It just doesn't work.
No message or error report. I am looking for an alternative caclulator
to install.
Today I tried to run the calculator from the command line --It failed
but at least it displayed some information about the error that stops it
working. See below:

As you can see the requisite directory is There!
I am sad to report that this kind of error has been seen before on 19.04
I had hoped eventually someone would correct this -- There is a systemic
failure here makins snaps. None of them appear to work with my install.
My home directory is on Another disk. This is pretty much standard
practice in my work place. I recommend this problem be fixed for ALL
snaps.
