What seems to be the problem?

Answer 1

i'm thinking that you have something in background that is preventing that you install the package

run $ snap changes

you will get something similar to this, you should search on any doing/ongoing process so you can abort it

ID Estate Generated Ready Description
10 Doing  when            installing snap "chromium"

Now you will grab that Doing process ID and you just type this, 10 is my process you will get a different one. With this command, you will abort the process so you can generate a new one hopefully without any trouble

$ sudo snap abort 10
