[Bug 1576500] Re: Plasma fails to load: "all shell packages missing"

[naguz]

After reading jklasdf comment (#13) I tried to purge snapd (using apt-get purge ad i dont have aptitude installed. Rebooted. Same problem
echo $XDG_DATA_DIRS yields:
/usr/share//usr/share/xsessions/plasma:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/:/var/lib/snapd/desktop
So i reinstall snapd, created a symlink to have ~/.local/share/plasma to point to /usr/share/plasma (If my usage of ln -s was correct) and rebooted. Still no change, and echo $XDG_DATA_DIRS yields the same result as before. Is there any point in trying to reinstall snapd and then rebooting, to mace sure that the environment variables it erroneously provides take affect before I purge the package? Shouldn't any errors in the package be removed by purging it?
I welcome any help in trying to fixing this.

Btw, my problem did not come with the update, but with an update about
ten days ago. Don't remember, haven't used the laptop fore a while
before yesterday. And while I get the same "All shell packages missing."
error I can use krunner with alt+F2, so I CAN use the computer, but it
is, of course, not ideal.

Also, if anyone else don't have networking, maybe due to the
keychain/wallet not being opened, nmcli does the trick for me from the
temrinal. Can't check the exact usage no, as I'm not with the laptop
atm.
