Bug description:
  [Impact]
  This bug affects users who hold the snapd package so it is not installed.
  When trying to attach, they'll see a failure because snapd cannot be installed.

  snapd is required for livepatch. When it is absent, we try to install
  it. If we cannot, then the client should perform a partial attach -
  not enabling Livepatch, but still enabling esm, for instance - instead
  of failing completely.

  [Test Case]
  - On a LTS system compatible with Livepatch, hold the snapd package in apt with a negative pin in a preferences file
  - uninstall snapd, if present
  - try to attach, see it fail
  - install ubuntu-advantage-tools >= 27.13
  - try to attach, verify that it works, but Livepatch is disabled
  - try to enable Livepatch, see that it can't because snapd cannot be installed
  - unhold snapd
  - enable Livepatch, and check that it works

  [Regression Potential]
  If snapd is not installed for any other reason, attach will also skip enabling Livepatch and try to proceed. This happens to be acceptable behavior, and even intended, as a complete fail would be worse. Once snapd can be installed again, Livepatch enablement will be back to normal.

  [Original Description]
  My system report error
  I am not using snap
  I am not able to use the ubuntu pro advantage without snap ?
  and how do I know what kernel is better for my pc ?
