@merto-dvp - can you try running as sudo? Certainly not what we want but I did see that it got things going.

Thanks for reply!, Yes, command works with sudo. But previous sdk versions was working fine without sudo.

Any updates on this? We'd love to use the latest version with the security fixes but we can't do that currently.

Also getting this issue with .NET 6.0 preview 7 snap.

sudo snap revert dotnet-sdk worked, however it's no longer preview 7 but preview 6 which is a bit pointless

Is there any version which doesn't have that issue? I have tried the latest 3.1, 5.0 and 6.0 with no luck.
Develop as root is not an option.

@chuchu I ended up installing the SDK with apt instead of snap as explained here. Works like a charm.

Same issue on fedora 34

[zezba9000]

I have the same issue. Installed from Snap. Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS

This is the only thing that works. All other scripts are broken or missing docs.

sudo apt-get update; \
  sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https && \
  sudo apt-get update && \
  sudo apt-get install -y dotnet-sdk-5.0

try this:

sudo ln -s /snap/dotnet-sdk/current/dotnet /snap/bin

or

sudo ln -s /snap/dotnet-sdk/current/dotnet /usr/bin

I don't know is it right, but it works.

sudo ln -s /snap/dotnet-sdk/current/dotnet /usr/bin is work,Thanks @flairyu
