I am working with a Debian system (5.5.0-kali1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.5.13-2kali1 (2020-04-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux) ).

I found that when I tried to install notepad++. I got the same error. These command worked for me. Hope they do for you.

sudo service snapd start
sudo systemctl start snapd.service
sudo snap install notepad-plus-plus
