Do I need libsnapd-glib1 without snapd?

Ask Ubuntu Asked by buntubunny on December 17, 2020

Basically the title: I removed all snaps + snapd from Kubuntu 20.04, and now see ‘libsnapd-glib1’ asking to update…

Is it okay to just uninstall libsnapd-glib1 if I never plan on using snaps?

It’s listed as optional, but I’m new to linux, and just want to be sure.

I saw this post, but I don’t have gir1.2-snapd-1 installed, and there didn’t seem to be any strong answers anyway.

Thanks in advance!

Looks like a lot more than snapd uses that lib. Removal is not recommended.
