Can not run MeshLabXML with Ubuntu 18.04 and Meshlab installed with snap

[SBCV]

I've installed meshlab with snap on Ubuntu 18.04 using sudo snap install meshlab --devmode. This creates the meshlabserver executable using the following path /snap/bin/meshlab.meshlabserver. Since my MeshlabServer version is 2020.07, I've used the following script for testing:

os.environ['PATH'] = "/snap/bin/" + os.pathsep + os.environ['PATH']
import meshlabxml as mlx
orange_cube = mlx.FilterScript(file_out='orange_cube.ply', ml_version='2020.07')
mlx.create.cube(orange_cube, size=[3.0, 4.0, 5.0], center=True, color='orange')
mlx.transform.rotate(orange_cube, axis='x', angle=45)
mlx.transform.rotate(orange_cube, axis='y', angle=45)
mlx.transform.translate(orange_cube, value=[0, 5.0, 0])
orange_cube.run_script()

When running this script, I receive the following error message: /bin/sh: 1: meshlabserver: not found Thus, I created a symbolic link from /snap/bin/meshlab.meshlabserver to /snap/bin/meshlabserver. Running the script again throws:

meshlabserver cmd = meshlabserver -i ".../tmpkd4za4nc.xyz" -o "orange_cube.ply" -m vc vn wt -s "/tmp/tmpk5mvuiei.mlx"
***START OF MESHLAB STDOUT & STDERR***
internal error, please report: running "meshlabserver" failed: cannot find current revision for snap meshlabserver: readlink /snap/meshlabserver/current: no such file or directory

Thus my question, is meshlabxml supposed to run with snap? Am I missing something here?

Bests, Sebastian

Btw: I've noticed that my Meshlab version is not able to read *.mlx files that are located under /tmp/...
