[Bug 1788220] Re: [snap] Ubuntu 18.04 LTS includes gnome-calculator as a snap

[Ken VanDine]

This was caused by a fontconfig cache miss, which was caused by a
difference in the fontconfig cache version between what's bundled in the
snap vs the host cache on 18.04.  This has been fixed with
https://github.com/ubuntu/snapcraft-desktop-helpers/pull/144

** Changed in: gnome-calculator (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released

** Changed in: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

  [snap] Ubuntu 18.04 LTS includes gnome-calculator as a snap

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 18.04 includes the calculator as a snap.

  The standard installation of snap, with no custom snap apps installed
  other than what Ubuntu installs by default, takes a whooping 1.6GB of
  hard disk. Calc takes forever to start in a modern machine compared to
  the normal calc installed with APT, creates snap files in the user's
  home dir (with name $HOME/snap). This is ridiculous.

  Snap is immature, there's no sysadmin tool support, and it's not ready
  to make it the default for standard Ubuntu LTS.
