Bug Description

Install of chromium from the Ubuntu software store fails with "Unable to perform the following tasks:" but nothing detailing what those failed tasks might be. Trying to install from the command line with "sudo snap install chromium" also fails, thus:

error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Run configure hook of "chromium" snap if present (run hook "configure": <exceeded maximum runtime of 5m0s>)

After briefly appearing in the /snap directory, the /snap/chromium directory disappears when the installation fails.

Running Ubuntu-18.04.6LTS

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Bug reporting is mostly about finding & fixing problems thus preventing future users from hitting the same bug.

I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709

Launchpad tracks issues with deb packages (https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/chromium-browser); snapd (https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd) etc, but not snaps such as what you're filing the report about.

For details on snaps like you're issue please look at https://snapcraft.io/chromium where bug reporting info can be found at the bottom; I'll change this to package to snapd.

Please execute the following command only once, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:

apport-collect 1953069

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

affects: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) → snapd (Ubuntu)
