As I wrote on the snapcraft forums, that's a problem then as long as the snap continues to be out of date/unstable, as the snap replaces the deb version for users that don't have Thunderbird installed.
I don't mind if non-stable snaps appear in the store, but they should not be default if a deb version is also available. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1835625 Title: Shows old snap edge version of thunderbird Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Test case: Open ubuntu-software, search thunderbird Version returned is an old edge version of thunderbird not meant to be used.
