Is there a known way around this, or is this a bug which I should report on Launchpad?

chromium snap

    I just experienced this & saw your post.

    Rather than use launchpad, I posted at https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/trouble-updating-chromium-snap/23276

    The issue, I just try again (usually not straight away.. I assume it's related to the system struggling, so I'd explore what is using resources using htop or equivalent, resolve that issue or wait until whatever that is has completed, then try again).

    In all cases a later snap refresh works for me (though it maybe a few tries before it works).

    For more detail, you can read my post at https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/trouble-updating-chromium-snap/23276

    (my box is probably considered elderly, so it's a little resource challenged, and I at least see that as the cause, also how I use the box [inc. resource heavy browser extensions])
