[Bug 1999308] Re: Snap keeps uninstalling apt Firefox, and reinstalling snap Firefox

[herrsaalfeld]

The transitional package uses a versioning schema that is incompatible
with the Firefox release versioning schema, today:

1:1snap1-0ubuntu3

vs

113.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.23.04.1~mt1

which makes apt believe that 1:1snap1-0ubuntu3 is a more recent build
than 113.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.23.04.1~mt1 which it typically isn't.  The
version of the transitional firefox package never changes and does not
reflect the version of what version of Firefox snap installs.

@Sebastian, Your statement "the issue is that people install a firefox
deb which is older than the one provided by Ubuntu" is therefore
obviously false.  You may have misunderstood the situation which is
completely normal.  We all make mistakes all the time.  Please recognize
this and reopen the bug.
