Bug Description

After fresh install of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, I am unable to do anything with snaps, they are basically paralized entirely: nothing can be removed or added or changed, because it stops on this:

Automatically connect eligible plugs and slots of snap....

...keep throwing this:

2022-12-19T19:57:15+01:00 INFO Waiting for conflicting change in progress: conflicting snap snapd with task "discard-snap"

2022-12-19T19:57:26+01:00 INFO Waiting for conflicting change in progress: conflicting snap snapd with task "discard-snap"

Digging a bit more, I found this:

- Mount snap "youtube-dl" (4806) (systemctl command [--no-reload disable snap-youtube\x2ddl-4806.mount] failed with exit status 1: Failed to disable unit: Too many levels of symbolic links
)
- Mount snap "core18" (2654) (systemctl command [--no-reload disable snap-core18-2654.mount] failed with exit status 1: Failed to disable unit: Too many levels of symbolic link

Well, OK. How to cure that without reinstalling the entire OS?
