Error: Snapd Unable to Mount Squashfs Image with 'mount' Executable Not Found

I encountered an error while using Snap on my Ubuntu system. The error message states that the system does not fully support Snapd due to the inability to mount a squashfs image. The specific issue is the absence of the 'mount' executable in the system's PATH. Despite reinstalling the 'mount' package and verifying its integrity, the problem persists. I kindly request assistance in resolving this issue to ensure proper functionality of Snap on my Ubuntu system.

example - sudo snap refresh:

error: system does not fully support snapd: cannot mount squashfs image using "squashfs": exec:
       "mount": executable file not found in $PATH

Basic starting details are what OS/release you're using, you mention Ubuntu, but gave no clues as to what product (Server? Desktop? Core? etc) or what release of that *unstated* product... Providing clear *pastes* of your command & error message would also be helpful (not just explaining around 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.
