After doing the usual sudo apt update and then upgrade, and snap refresh.I had updated Flutter (and Dart)  and afterwards, upgraded all of the pubspec.yaml and finally ran Flutter Doctor.  It output this

I’m not worried about Android so Linux and Chrome were fine; everything is up to date.  Until I tried to run the app (as Linux) and got the message at the top. It says

ERROR: Target dart_build failed: Error: Failed to find any of [ld.lld, ld] in LocalDirectory: 
'/snap/flutter/149/usr/lib/llvm-10/bin'

I can still run it as a Chrome web app so it’s not the end of the world; more a speed bump than a road block but still annoying. I looked up the error but there was nothing really helpful. Installing lld did not fix it.

I asked an AI (Chrome what I could do and it have me three alternatives).

  1. Install a symbolic link to lld but that failed as the area is read only. Even with sudo.
  2. Refresh from a different snap channel but even with a full reboot after doing that it made no difference.
  3. Suggests uninstalling Flutter from snap and install it manually, so that’s what I guess I have to do.

What a faff!
