SUMMARY
I have a couple of Snaps installed. When I check for updates in Discover, it sometimes shows that these Snaps or the "base Snap" need updates. However, it seems that the backend checking what Snaps need updating actually triggers Snap to update them itself, thus Discover gives me an error that Snap updates are already in progress, or that there are no updates for Snap to apply. This is non-critical, as I can just ignore the error, but it is annoying nonetheless.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install a Snap package via any method (although, come to think of it this one was required to be installed in classic mode).
2. Wait until said Snap is ready to update.
3. Attempt to perform system updates in Discover.

OBSERVED RESULT
Discover prompts you for sudo permissions, but then gives an error that there are no updates to apply or that they are already in progress.

EXPECTED RESULT
Discover performs the updates without throwing an error.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I think I had to make a symlink somewhere to make classic mode for Snaps work, per instructions from Snap's error message at the time I think.
