I’m sorry, but I was under the impression that the point of snaps was to have
“universal” packages, which work on any distribution and are not customized for
any particular one. “snap info okular” gives me the following output:


name:      okular
summary:   Universal document viewer
publisher: kde
contact:   https://www.kde.org

  Okular is a universal document viewer developed by KDE. Okular works on
  multiple platforms, including but not limited to Linux, Windows, Mac OS X,
  \*BSD, etc.

I’ve also checked that the .snap file I got through “snap install okular” is
identical to the one which can be downloaded here:
https://uappexplorer.com/snap/ubuntu/okular

The snap package lists “contact: https://www.kde.org”, which is why I opened a
bug report here. If this is not an “official” okular snap package, then who is
responsible for it?

In this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378130
the reporter was in the same situation (“sudo snap install okular” on Ubuntu)
and it seems that there was no problem resolving it at this level.
