This appears to be a known issue. Read more on snapcraft forums.

I've tried to install Krita using the command snap install krita, as I get the following error:

error: cannot perform the following tasks:
Ensure prerequisites for "krita" are available (cannot install prerequisite "kde-frameworks-5-96-qt-5-15-5-core20": no snap revision available as specified)

I've tried to look up this kde-frameworks snap, but the message I got back is:

error: no snap found for "kde-frameworks-5-96-qt-5-15-5-core20"

It also doesn't show up in the snap store software on my desktop, but I can find it online on snapcraft.io at https://snapcraft.io/kde-frameworks-5-96-qt-5-15-5-core20

When I try to open up the snap store from the website using the direct install link, I get the error message

failed to install: not supported

in the desktop application. When I try to use the code sudo snap install kde-frameworks-5-96-qt-5-15-5-core20, the message is

   error: snap "kde-frameworks-5-96-qt-5-15-5-core20" is not available on stable but is available to
   install on the following channels:

   candidate  snap install --candidate kde-frameworks-5-96-qt-5-15-5-core20
   beta       snap install --beta kde-frameworks-5-96-qt-5-15-5-core20
   edge       snap install --edge kde-frameworks-5-96-qt-5-15-5-core20

   Please be mindful pre-release channels may include features not completely tested or
   implemented. Get more information with 'snap info kde-frameworks-5-96-qt-5-15-5-core20'.

However, none of the three code works, they all return similar messages as above.

I've found many other versions of kde-frameworks, with similar naming structures as this one on the snap store app, but installing one (I went with kde-frameworks-5-102-qt-5-15-8-core22 as it seemed to be a newer version going by the name) didn't make any difference.

What am I missing, why doesn't it work?

It's a known issue, and is being dealt with - https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/global-auto-connect-request-kde-content-snap/34251

Is there a reason you don't want to use the apt version: `sudo apt update; sudo apt install krita`?

Ah yes there is, I forgot to mention: the apt version is somewhat outdated - I’d prefer the latest release

You could use the appimage provided [here](https://krita.org/en/download/krita-desktop/).

I'll probably do that for the time being. I wanted to use the snap version since I use snap blender, and I thought I might as well transition to snaps if the apt versions aren't getting the same updates, and ubuntu is pushing snaps anyways. Seems like I chose just the right time to try it...

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.
