This is after installation using apt-get on my Raspberry Pi 4B running Debian Bookworm:
root@rpi4:/root# apt-cache policy snapd
snapd:
  Installed: 2.57.6-1+b5
  Candidate: 2.57.6-1+b5
  Version table:
 *** 2.57.6-1+b5 500
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian  bookworm/main arm64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
and this is the output from my Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon:
$ apt-cache policy snapd
snapd:
  Installed: 2.45.1+20.04
  Candidate: (none)
  Version table:
     2.63+22.04 -10
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu  jammy-updates/main amd64 Packages
     2.58+22.04.1 -10
        500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu  jammy-security/main amd64 Packages
     2.55.3+22.04 -10

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

$ sudo apt-get install snapd

Package snapd is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'snapd' has no installation candidate
Is there some problem which needs to be addressed on my Mint, or there is some possibly transient error?
