Not sure how reliably the snap install work. Could you try out the Flatpak install instead? If that works, we know it is something with the install, if that also doesnt work there must be a bigger problem.

On what platform are you? x86/x64/arm?
What snap version do you use? Can you use snap without problem for other programs?

See here for a comment regarding Mobian snap, if that is what you mean with Debian (thats after all the goal with Mobian right?)

Could you try to install libgconf-2-4? The below issue lists it as a required package.

I ran into this myself (on Arch), and solved by installing that library.

More info in the issue:

I have the same error on Manjaro arm installed via:
which uses this.

I tried installing gconf hoping it contains libgconf-2-4 ( as it can't be installed on manjaro directly.

No luck, still not working. Also there is another issue which seems the same, but actually on manjaro: #433
