And how do I fix it?

I find this 3-4 times per day in my syslog.

snap

    This is an issue as stated by @MichaelBay and the solution for now till a proper fix is done is:

    sudo systemctl stop snap-repair.timer
sudo systemctl disable snap-repair.timer

    So it does not come back after a reboot, which I assume it would, this kills the link

    sudo systemctl stop snapd
sudo systemctl disable snapd

    If you have need for snapd, don't run the latter two commands.
