[snapcraft-kde-applications] kstars: Addinig initial KStars snap files. It needs DBus stuff plus notification and notifyconfig as well. INDI still uses /usr/share but it needs to be using XDG paths maybe? what are they exactly in a snap environment? It requires latest KDE frameworks to build.

Thanks! I tried installing that snap today on a 16.04 system but got the
following:

error: cannot find signatures with metadata for snap
"kstars_16.12.04_amd64.snap"

Do I need to install anything else before it?. It seems the bug you linked
is already resolved.

Regards,
Jasem
