Out of nowhere snap deployment stopped working:
https://travis-ci.org/johannesjo/super-productivity/jobs/638109475

Before:

The error shown is:

I suspect this is due to an updated snapcraft, which may require an update to snapd. See

You can try this fix by testing the prerelease (see https://blog.travis-ci.com/2019-08-27-deployment-tooling-dpl-v2-preview-release for more details) with:

deploy:
  edge: true
  # ⋮ rest

or updating snapd yourself:

before_deploy:
  - sudo apt-get update -qq
  - sudo apt-get install snapd
3 
deploy:
  edge: true

Is indeed fixing the problem. Thank you!

Unfortunately it’s broken again:
