I'm following this example on developer.ubuntu.com to test before I "snap" my own creation. However, at the end I'm not allowed to run: 

sudo snap install ros-example_1.0_amd64.snap

I get the following error: 

ZOE ERROR (from /usr/lib/snap/snap): error checking HMM file
ZOE library version 2006-07-28

How do I solve this? Do I need to set some environment variable?

EDIT: I'm using 14.04 LTS. Is 16.04 required to create snaps?

    Are you able to install other snaps? Can you please include the entire output of what happens when you attempt to install? – kyrofa Jul 01 '16 at 14:58
  • The output is what i posted over:

    ZOE ERROR (from /usr/lib/snap/snap): error checking HMM file ZOE library version 2006-07-28

    I used the following commands: $ snapcraft snap $ sudo snap install test.snap (this is where the error comes form).

    I've tried making another snap from: [link] (https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft/tree/master/demos/py2-project)

    I get a similar, but not equal output: ZOE ERROR (from /usr/lib/snap/snap): error opening parameter file ZOE library version 2006-07-28

  • Yeah this doesn't seem to have anything to do with ROS-- it sounds like a snapd bug. Would you mind logging one, please? Make sure to include information about the distribution you're using, etc. – kyrofa Jul 04 '16 at 12:01

    I switched to Ubuntu 16.04 and this is no longer a problem. Thanks! – Tarjeison Jul 07 '16 at 14:54

Under 14.04 there's another package called snap, so running snap install x.y gives the ZOE ERROR (from /usr/lib/snap/snap). You want to do sudo apt-get install snapd and then make sure you run the right version of snap to make your installation work; call /usr/bin/snap explicitly if needed:

/usr/bin/snap install x.y

sudo apt-get install snapd

try this first: sudo apt-get install conjure-up

If it fails, this will do the trick: sudo apt-get install conjure-up sudo apt-get install conjure-up --classic
