This “snap” told me to close kdevelop to update. Now it won’t work anymore. When trying from shell I get a lot of lines like this:
/snap/kdevelop/87/usr/bin/kdevelop: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38’ not found (required by /snap/kdevelop/87/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libKF6KIOCore.so.6)
Fortunately I took a snapshot of my VM before the update so I can roll back, but now it is threatening to update anyway in 13 days.
This is the only software I have used “snap” for, but isn’t it supposed to have all libraries included? I did some digging and the previous version of kdevelop had libc.so.6 in the install files.
How can I fix this? Or is there something wrong with the package?
The glibc is a a very low lever library and the kdevelop snap seems to depend on a newer one than your system provides.

The package is wrong and/or the distro is wrong, it should not provide this snap if it is incompatible with your system like here where jammy is the old LTS and the snap package is apparently not compatible with it.
You could upgrade to a newer Ubuntu version (not-LTS). The next LTS is due in April as usual and will solve this.

This has nothing to do with KDE software.
Oh ok. I do not know much about this “snap”, just copypasted commands to install kdevelop. I assumed the package is created by the developers, as a way to release.
Can anyone point me to where I should report a problem with this package? Who creates it?
Snap is telling me the update is forced in 13 days…
Packages are made by distros and distribution only, hence the distribution name.
There is an exception with flatpack/snap/appimage “static” packages, that can be packaged by developers and also by distributions. snap packages are most likely made by the distribution.
Bugs : Ubuntu is the place to report bugs to ubuntu and Kubuntu.
Here I don’t know what they will tell you that’s just a flaw in how they build and distribute snaps.
