latest os update for kernel broke snaps

seems like the latest os update (kernel update) broke snaps.

things ive tried so far to fix

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

apt-get dist-upgrade

no snap apps will run now. wavebox for example, kicks back a udev_enumerate_faied error if you try to run it. every snap app i try to run now, simply wont.

help?

correction, the error it is kicking is udev_enumerate_scan failed

ive also tried booting into the 3 kernels that appear to be installed via grub, but no luck.

any ideas anyone?

Just read this:

Wonder if 'new devices' extends to computers?

Having just read this article explains the problem more clearly:

Basically, Snaps and Flatpacks are not official 'packages' - so the issue will be with Snaps not being compatible with the Kernel - therefore it is down to 3rd party developers to get their act together - that is my take on it. ;) :D

Update - about a couple of weeks ago when updating the system I noticed an update for snaps? Can you see if things have improved for you please cerebrix? ;) :D
