I can't get snap to work on an Ubuntu 16.04 vps. I get this output when trying to install:
The following NEW packages will be installed:

When trying to install the hello-world snap it gives me this error:
snap install hello-world
error: system does not fully support snapd: cannot mount squashfs image using
"squashfs": mount: /tmp/sanity-mountpoint-948900179: mount failed:
Unknown error -1
I have looked everywhere for a solution but for the life of me have not been able to find one.
