Try to install an older release like 1.24/stable: $ snap remove microk8s $ snap install microk8s --classic --channel=1.24/stable

Back in business. Thanks! Any idea for the reason why an older release seems to work whereas the current did work but is no longer working?

Dependency hell I presume :). 1.25 and 1.26/stable seems to be having problems with glibc version on centos 7.9: /usr/bin/pkttyagent: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.25' not found (required by /snap/microk8s/4595/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexpat.so.1)

Hi @janv67, When you do snap remove, there is a snapshot of data that still remains present for future use. You can use the --purge flag to remove all the old data and then install any version of microK8s again.
