Ubuntu Snaps not showing up

  • 772

I noticed when I run "snap find" on a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 (with all updates) I no longer see Nmap listed. However, if I run "snap find nmap" it shows up. Why is Nmap not showing up when I run "snap find" and how many other snaps are not listed or showing this way? I should also add something must have changed with the nmap snap recently as it was searchable by using "snap find" just a few weeks ago.

snap

    According to http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/snappy, if you use snap find without specifying a package name, it will only output "public, promoted results". The relevant quote here is:

    As long as you know the name of the snap you want, and it is public or your own private snap, you can install it using its name directly. But if you search the store, you’ll only see public, promoted results.
