error message

SUMMARY
When updating with discover, it can't update bash-language-server with the error

> snap "bash-language-server" is already installed.

I guess there would be the same problem with other snaps, but the update stops at this point.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have the snap package bash-language-server at an older version installed.
2. In discover click on "Updates all".
3. Click through the security warnings.

OBSERVED RESULT
snap "bash-language-server" is already installed.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should be able to update

The update was auto applied in the background probably. And there is no update available anymore. Can you give us some more input?

Of course.

The issue is still present, each time I update I get a notification about snap being incompatible with security sandboxing, then the error. Everything else update normally. Since last time, I noticed Firefox is up to date.

The package is still outdated according to snap info:
```
  latest/stable:    4.7.0 2023-06-26 (69) 30MB classic
  latest/candidate: ↑                          
  latest/beta:      ↑                          
  latest/edge:      4.7.0 2023-11-02 (80) 30MB classic
installed:          2.0.0            (27) 33MB -
```

In the Update tab, Discover simply says "Refresh of version 2.0.0". 
When I go Installed > Bash Language Server, it  says the installed version is 2.0.0. But then in Update the text turned into "Refresh of version 4.7.0". When I apply the update in this  state, it hit the error, then the text turns back to "Refresh of version 2.0.0".

Try clearing the cache, and see what happens.

remove this file

`rm -rf $HOME/.cache/discover`
Comment 4 kevindu52defargoth 2024-10-11 15:43:38 UTC 
Removing `$HOME/.cache/discover` didn't solved the problem. I also deleted `/var/lib/snapd/cache/*` and now the issue is gone.

Thanks for the help
