snaps is starting to give me a headache. I installed chromium in my ubuntu and it installed it as a snap (even through apt, it just a transitional package that installs the snap.), and for some reason it has a dependency with cups (printing software). Every time i delete cups it is reinstalled..again and again, i couldn't find any solution.

Follow the instructions here, works for me: https://gist.github.com/lmmx/0550cfc8867eb1eea04076ec69c95a5...

Although cups has a hardwired dependency on libsnapd-glib1 so you can't remove that library, but the nosnap.pref file will prevent snapd from ever being installed again.

'hold package' option may help. Dunno if is implemented in Ubuntu, but you could take a look

Ditch Ubuntu.
