Metadata
Current evaluation
User gets connection refused error when trying to install snapd via snap on Raspberry Pi Zero. Issue is 788 days old with no maintainer response.
Suggested action: close not a bug
Reason: This is a support/usage question, not a bug in the snapcraft project. The user installed snapd via apt (the system daemon) then tried to install it again via snap, which is incorrect usage. The connection refused error indicates snapd isn't running properly on their system. This should be directed to Ubuntu/Raspberry Pi support channels rather than the snapcraft repository.
