Bug Description
Restored my system using Timeshift everything works ok except snap installed apps:
- Atom code editor
- Skype
- Slack
where among affected.
Reinstalling them didn't help even deleting files from snap cache, too
I've tried also
```
sudo snap refresh core --beta
```
didn't help as well.
Before reinstalling skype using Ubuntu software.
When launching app from terminal:
skype --secondary
results in:
internal error, please report: running "skype" failed: cannot find installed snap "skype" at revision 156: missing file /snap/skype/
which might be the case with the rest of the apps.
After reinstalling still doesn't launch but command line:
skype --secondary
works.
The way snap works seems to be very sophisticated and fragile and installations can not be fixed with overwrite installs.
