Revert to previous snap version
sudo snap revert vlc
This operation will revert both the snap revision and the data associated with the software. If the previously used revision of the snap is from a different channel, that snap will be installed but the channel being tracked won’t change. A snap won’t automatically update to a version previously reverted from, and the output from snap refresh will continue to state All snaps up to date. A reverted snap will be automatically updated when a new and different revision is made available by the publisher. However, explicitly adding the snap name to snap refresh will update the snap, regardless of whether the latest revision was previously reverted from or not
