I'm experiencing the same error on Ubuntu 20.04, that started to occur suddenly a few months ago (don't have the version numbers). Since then I was not able to update chromium, nor able to install it after remove & purge as it fails with the reported error: ``` # snap install chromium error: cannot perform the following tasks: - Run configure hook of "chromium" snap if present (run hook "configure": /snap/chromium/1479/snap/command-chain/hooks-configure-desktop: line 43: /snap/chromium/1479/gnome-platform/usr/bin/fc-cache: No such file or directory) ```
It seems to be an issue with `font-cache` not being properly mounted from the host as you can read here https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/default- chromium-fonts-are-missing-after-snapd-has-been-updated/21651/7. The issue seems to be fixed in snapd upstream https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/9805 though not sure if and when will this land in ubuntu. Attaching the `snap changes` error output. ** Attachment added: "snap_changes_error-output.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1915712/+attachment/5464150/+files/snap_changes_error-output.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1915712 Title: [snap] configure hook fails because the gnome-3-28-1804 platform snap isn't connected Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in snapd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: happened on do-release-upgrade ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: chromium-browser 87.0.4280.66-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-135.139-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-135-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.23 Architecture: amd64 DRM.card0-DP-1: enabled: disabled dpms: Off status: disconnected edid-base64: modes: DRM.card0-HDMI-A-1: enabled: disabled dpms: Off status: disconnected edid-base64: modes: DRM.card0-VGA-1: enabled: enabled dpms: On status: connected edid-base64: AP///////wAEcmOt9h4RchURAQMIJh546JrlplhJmSMRUFS/7wABAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBMCoAmFEAKkAwcBMAeC0RAAAeAAAA/QA4Sx5TDgAKICAgICAgAAAA/wBMNzgwQzA1NDQwNDQKAAAA/ABBTDE5MTYKICAgICAgAGE= modes: 1280x1024 1280x1024 1024x768 1024x768 1024x768 832x624 800x600 800x600 800x600 800x600 640x480 640x480 640x480 640x480 720x400 Date: Mon Feb 15 13:26:20 2021 Desktop-Session: 'None' 'None' '/usr/local/share:/usr/share:/var/lib/snapd/desktop' Env: 'None' 'None' ErrorMessage: »neues chromium-browser-Skript des Paketes pre-installation«-Unterprozess gab den Fehlerwert 1 zurück InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-06-27 (1328 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 16.04.2 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20170215) InstalledPlugins: Load-Avg-1min: 0.61 Load-Processes-Running-Percent: 0.2% MachineType: Hewlett-Packard HP Pro3500 Series ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-135-generic root=UUID=093e88ea-7b5e-4e39-b56c-03b28ad06dd2 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=1 Python3Details: /usr/bin/python3.8, Python 3.8.5, python3-minimal, 3.8.2-0ubuntu2 PythonDetails: /usr/bin/python2.7, Python 2.7.18, python-is-python2, 2.7.17-4 SourcePackage: chromium-browser Title: package chromium-browser 87.0.4280.66-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: »neues chromium-browser-Skript des Paketes pre-installation«-Unterprozess gab den Fehlerwert 1 zurück UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to focal on 2021-02-15 (0 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 10/25/2013 dmi.bios.vendor: AMI dmi.bios.version: 8.17 dmi.board.name: 2ABF dmi.board.vendor: Foxconn dmi.board.version: 3.20 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: CZC34935PY dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAMI:bvr8.17:bd10/25/2013:svnHewlett-Packard:pnHPPro3500Series:pvr:rvnFoxconn:rn2ABF:rvr3.20:cvnHewlett-Packard:ct3:cvr: dmi.product.family: 103C_53307F G=D dmi.product.name: HP Pro3500 Series dmi.sys.vendor: Hewlett-Packard modified.conffile..etc.default.chromium-browser: [deleted] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1915712/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
