Title:
  Apport hang opening bug on Gimp 2.8.22 installed in snap

Status in gimp package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu 17.10 I installed gimp using Ubuntu Software. Gimp (2.8.22
  according help-about) has been installed in snapd with many error
  messages (failed to read from snapd, failed to write to snapd...) but
  it works.

  gimp works fine on pictures existing on local drive, but is unable to access pictures residing on same harddisk different partition with a message 'Could not open... Permission denied. The same pictures are accessed smoothly by Image Viewer or Shotwell.
  With the message 'Could not open...' on the screen I attempted to open a bug with ubuntu-bug -w or ubuntu-bug id# but apport seems hang collecting problem information with a message: The crashed program seems to use third-part or local libraries. see attached screenshot.
  Gimp 2.8.20 installed via apt in Ubuntu 17.10 in a different partition of same disk does not have this problem.
  Similar problem with VLC installed in snap: does nor work on videos residing in a different partition and apport hangs trying to create a bug report. 

  This bug report is obtained with 'ubuntu-bug gimp' but apport say 'not
  installed'

  I don't know if I should open also a different bug for 'gimp unable to deal with pictures on different partitions' and 2 other bugs for VLC or a bug for snap.
  Thanks.
