I tried this earlier today on a Trusty machine and ran into some difficulties 
installing.  `sudo apt install snapd` resulted in the following error message:

     snapd: Depends: systemd (>= 204-5ubuntu20.20) but it is not going to be 
installed

Attempting to install systemd directly (to work out what was wrong) resulted in 
something similar:

     gnome-control-center: Depends: libcheese-gtk23 (>= 3.4.0) but it is not 
going to be installed
                                    libcheese7 (>= 3.0.1) ...

     ubuntu-control-center: Depends: libcheese-gtk23 (>= 3.4.0) ...
                                     libcheese7 (>= 3.0.1) ...

Any thoughts on what could be wrong here?
