To be clear on something which may confuse people. The snap-store snap baked into a 20.04 system comes from the latest/stable/ubuntu-20.04 “track” in the Snap Store. (tracks are a means to have multiple supported releases under one name). If you manually installed snap-store (the snap) from the Snap Store (the repo) (ugh, confusing), then you may see a different version. Here’s what I have installed:-
alan@mcp:~$ snap info snap-store | tail -n 8
tracking: latest/stable/ubuntu-20.04
refresh-date: 4 days ago, at 04:03 BST
channels:
latest/stable: 3.31.1+git187.84b64e0b 2020-04-22 (415) 45MB -
latest/candidate: 3.31.1+git187.84b64e0b 2020-04-20 (415) 45MB -
latest/beta: 3.36.0-75-g02a9109 2020-04-23 (436) 52MB -
latest/edge: 20200414.ac9047f 2020-04-14 (375) 50MB -
installed: 3.36.0-74-ga164ec9 (433) 52MB -
So note I am “tracking” latest/stable/ubuntu-20.04 which contains 3.36, and the latest/stable (default if you don’t specify a track, and manually install yourself) has 3.31. I believe we plan to push an update to latest/stable this week so they’re in line. But we didn’t last week because that snap has many thousands of installs across 18.04 and many distros, and we didn’t want to cause more trouble for ourselves, what with 20.04 just being out the door. It’ll get updated shortly. Alternatively people can snap refresh snap-store --channel=latest/stable/ubuntu-20.04 to get the “default” one you get on 20.04.
