I tried to see "if" the recovery option on boot "may" be able to correct the 
error but even that returned the same error (Well check fs aborted, fix broken 
pkgs gave the pin zero thing)

I did before deleting it, but it gave (me) no insight, I do remember the pin 
number was -10

that cmmand is one of the commands that give the error

I did give up and have re-installed the system, I will check if the snapd file 
is in /etc/apt/preferences

for now I seem to be back to (close to) where I was before the error came to 
visit.

I do thank you for the help so far, but not been able to update/upgrade and 
hence install anything new made the system pretty useless (to me)
