[Bug 2120750] [NEW] Dependencies cannot be met due to package overridden by snap

 

Public bug reported:

I am trying install the Chinese (Traditional) language pack on Ubuntu
20.04, but some of the packages offered by Language Support have no
installation candidate, namely, `thunderbird-locale-zh-hant` and
`thunderbird-locale-zh-tw`.

```
$ sudo apt install thunderbird-locale-zh-tw
