Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 chromium-browser : PreDepends: snapd but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

However, sudo apt install chromium works.

Proposed change: sudo apt install chromium-browser should also install chromium, without showing the snapd warning.

chromium-browser should be a metapackage to install chromium.

chromium-browser is an upstream meta-package. We don't want to override every single package name coming from upstream.

Note that it's blacklisted in mintinstall.
