Microk8s snap broken

By Michael Henderson

I am trying to get Microk8s to work using snap. When I run any snap command related to microk8s, I get the following error message:

error : cannot perform the following tasks:
- Arrêter les services du paquet Snap "microk8s" ([stop snap.microk8s.daemon-kubelet.service] failed with exit status 5: Failed to stop snap.microk8s.daemon-kubelet.service: Unit snap.microk8s.daemon-kubelet.service not loaded.
)

(Arrêter les services du paquet mean Stop services of package).

I get the exact same message when I try to start Microk8s, remove the Snap package, or pretty much anything else. So, not only I can’t use it, I can’t even uninstall it. Can anyone help?

Snap version:

snap 2.39.3
snapd 2.39.3
series 16
linuxmint 19.1
kernel 4.18.0-25-generic
3

I had pasted a line in the Microk8s configuration that was supposed to enable it to work by changing iptables settings. Except it called iptables instead of /bin/iptables, which didn’t work for me. Fixed. Now, why this prevented (for example) from uninstalling the snap is beyond me.
