A snap install attempt of selenium webdriver's or Chromium-chromedriver has ruined my package management

---snip--- I try all sorts of ways to clean this up, and they all fail. I have never been this stuck in some 15 years of using Ubuntu. I just want to eliminate the chromium and webdriver stuff to get my system normal again.

I see `snap "chromium" has "install-snap" change in progress` so have you waited for that to complete? I have found snap updates (changes) can take awhile; esp. if the snap is open and it waits for the closure...

"*I try all sorts of ways to clean this up, and they all fail*" Since we don't know what you have tried, it seems likely that we will waste a lot of effort telling you to try the same ways again. Rather that waste their effort, many volunteers here who might be able to help won't bother and will move on to another question. You can get better and faster help if your question details what you tried and why each failed.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
