Some ugly errors

[Sascha-1]

I'm using Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon. Testing the script I get these errors/warnings. They may not be that serious, but it would be nice to get rid of them.

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

E: Package 'snapd' has no installation candidate
sudo: snap: command not found
./install-comnet_latest.sh: line 171: rustup: command not found

Here is a link explaining part of the problem.

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts. is standard - the alternative is to have the usual overkill of apt messages which might overwhelm a noob. Am I worrying about this too much?

As for snapd, I'll need check your linik to see how that is handled in Cinnamon. Im testing this on a very vanilla Ubuntu 20.04

Personally I think WARNINGs can be more scary than regular apt messages telling the user what's happening.

One of the reasons I abandoned Ubuntu a long time ago was that Canonical got too commercial. E.g. rustc from the regular repositories works just fine on Mint, and probably Ubuntu, but maybe not Debian Stable.

I may add a notice - please ignore these warnings - or look harder to find a way to suppress them entirely.
