Public bug reported:

Hi,

here is the problem:

# snap refresh 
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Run configure hook of "zoom-client" snap if present (run hook "configure":
-----
cmd_run.go:918: WARNING: cannot create user data directory: cannot create 
"/root/snap/zoom-client/89": mkdir /root/snap/zoom-client: required key not 
available
cannot create user data directory: /root/snap/zoom-client/89: Required key not 
available
-----)

snap tries to create a directory in /root/snap/ and is prevented from
doing so because of bug #1877764.

But the problem is that snap tries to create this directory in the first
place.  Why on earth is this directory needed?  Why would anybody want
to run zoom in the root account?
