Can't install snap d on LTD 22.04

After multiple attempts to get snap working, I did a complete purge and reinstall on Ubuntu 22. On install I get the following error:

 sudo apt install snapd

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  cpu-checker folks-common ibverbs-providers ipxe-qemu ipxe-qemu-256k-compat-efi-roms libcacard0 libdaxctl1 libdecor-0-0 libdecor-0-plugin-1-cairo libfdt1 libfolks-eds26 libfolks26 libgfapi0 libgfrpc0

Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

I've been round the houses with this and it seems to be something to do with snap seed timeout, but I can't see anything on the forum that has helped me with this.
