Reason for breakage: snapd removed non-root support in:

commit 8f981ca652e9bffe587254c5c55177965eb3fcfd

    daemon: stop using group membership as succedaneous of running
things with sudo

This broke gnome-software, which is running as non-root...

The long term solution is to create a new D-Bus service that allows non-
root users to get a Macaroon from snapd and uses Polkit to authorize.
This is being added to snapd-glib.

As a short term solution, we really need to revert this change in
Xenial...
