Installing Inkscape resulted in broken system
This weekend I tried to install the deb version of Inkscape through the app-center.
Here is the apt log of what exactly happened:

It looks to me that the i386 version of Inkscape (instead of amd64) was selected to install and to fulfill the dependencies apt had to remove a bunch of essential packages.
If I would have done this through the terminal apt would ask me if I really want to remove all these packages, but the apt-center doesn't and left me with a broken system.
I am aware that the dependency resolution is the responsibility of apt, but why
- was the
i386version selected by app-center? - is there no confirmation that I really want to go ahead with uninstalling essential packages?
/cc @Feichtmeier @d-loose
Is this still happening? If so, it should be fixed ASAP.
I don't lead this project here anymore but I'll forward it. If it's really urgent maybe also consider to create a launchpad issue
@dviererbe which version of app-center are you running (snap info snap-store)?
This got fixed back in November. It looks like the latest/stable/ubuntu-23.10 channel still points to an old version from the end of September, though. @tim-hm did we not promote that fix to 23.10 while we were in Riga?

@d-loose It looks like the snap store snap did not refresh since November. My memory could be wrong, but I do not remember seeing any snap-store updates that I could install.
NOTE: I reinstalled Ubuntu since then onto another drive. I can still boot into the broken Ubuntu installation or look into log files. Fell free to ask if I should provide additional information.
When I run snap info snap-store on my fresh install I see:

@d-loose I thought we had ... but clearly not the case (I tripled checked locally). We'll need someone with permission to promote 1099 to latest/stable/ubuntu-23.10.
