[Bug 1690280] Re: Classic confined snaps don't install

[James Henstridge]

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  Apps that use classic confinement show up in search results but don't install.
  
  [Test Case]
  1. Open GNOME Software
  2. Search for a classic snap, e.g. "atom"
  3. Install snap
  
  Expected result:
  Either:
  a) Snap is installed
  b) Snap is not installed and error given
  c) Snap is installed but user needs to provide some sort of confirmation since it is not confined.
  
  Observed result:
  Snap is not installed, no error given.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Patch changes the code path used to request installation of all snap packages.  Ensure that strict confined snaps continue to be installed with correct confinement.
+ 
+ For example, try installing "ohmygiraffe" via gnome-software, then run
+ "snap info ohmygiraffe" from a terminal.  The "installed:" line should
+ not include the word "classic".
