Fix now in ppa:ubuntu-desktop/gnome-software (snapd-glib 1.24-0ubuntu1~ppa1). For me now I can install on first attempt.
I tested with: 1. Remove existing core snap (removes ALL snaps on your system) $ sudo apt purge snapd $ sudo apt install snapd 2. Restart GNOME Software $ killall gnome-software 3.
