I'm experiencing the same error on Ubuntu 20.04, that started to occur suddenly a few months ago (don't have the version numbers). Since then I was not able to update chromium, nor able to install it after remove & purge as it fails with the reported error: ``` # snap install chromium error: cannot perform the following tasks: - Run configure hook of "chromium" snap if present (run hook "configure": /snap/chromium/1479/snap/command-chain/hooks-configure-desktop: line 43: /snap/chromium/1479/gnome-platform/usr/bin/fc-cache: No such file or directory) ```
It seems to be an issue with `font-cache` not being properly mounted from the host as you can read here https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/default- chromium-fonts-are-missing-after-snapd-has-been-updated/21651/7. The issue seems to be fixed in snapd upstream https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/9805 though not sure if and when will this land in ubuntu. Attaching the `snap changes` error output. ** Attachment added: "snap_changes_error-output.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1915712/+attachment/5464150/+files/snap_changes_error-output.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1915712 Title: [snap] configure hook fails because the gnome-3-28-1804 platform snap isn't connected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1915712/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
