Error scanning and cleaning cache directory

Community Easy Installer

I am trying to install easy-installer. I launched it then relaunch the snap command line (why did I do that ???).

At the moment it is not installed and I got the issue:

$ sudo snap install easy-installer --beta
[sudo] Mot de passe de claire :

I try to clean or purge things with snap without success

Any tip ?

Regards.

A search online of snap + gnome-platform/usr/bin/fc-cache: failed gets quite a lot of hits. It looks like a regular Snap error (not really Easy Installer, I think).

Firstly what OS and version are you installing on?

I do not know a lot about fonts but are the named fonts ones that you installed yourself, or in some way non standard to your OS, gnome, or maybe even gtk, or even a 32-bit 64-bit conflict.

Many of the posts I found were unresolved, does this one throw any light for you software installation - Snap error: Unable to install due to Fonts - Ask Ubuntu

If Snap looks all too difficult there is https://openandroidinstaller.org/

Yes, I googled it, without finding any solution.
I change the computer and installed it. It works but my phone is not supported so return to adb and fastboot :wink:

Thanks
