I wanted to try snapd on ubuntu 14.04, but there was some dependency problems.
Apparently systemd conflicts with some xorg/mesa drivers I have installed with the HWE packages.
I removed some of them and tried again and it worked. Now I'm able to install and use snaps.
Then I tried to reinstall the HWE packages and get this:
chestrada@estacion17:~$ sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-core-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-xenial libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-xenial libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-xenial libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-xenial:i386 libglapi-mesa-lts-xenial:i386

Abort.
So, installing the HWE packages removes systemd and snapd.
Is there a bug here?
