snap install "invalid snap name"

q appears in app search but an error is displayed when trying to install it:

  • snap search q ... q 1.6.3-1 nhandler - run SQL directly on CSV or TSV files ..

  • sudo snap install q error: cannot install "q": invalid instance name: invalid snap name: "q"

Maybe it should have more than one letter in snapcraft directory?

Thanks

I actually haven't published q through snap, so someone else might have done it, or perhaps converted one of the existing rpm/deb packages. It's an older version btw, 1.6 - 2.0.9 is already out, which is a single executable without any external dependencies (not even python itself).

Most probably that you're right about the one-letter naming. I'll try to take a look if it's just a snap metadata level issue, or if it requires full repackaging.

If the person who published it through snap also reads this, please ping me so we can see how to cooperate to make sure it works.
