Broken Snap Updates

What to do if your IDE was updated on the background by snapd and it's not working anymore.

I use Intellij Idea Community. I use Ubuntu 21.10. I'm using this to learn flutter but today snapd updated my IDE to the latest version which is not compatible with the current flutter plugin.

So, my userspace was broken.

Fortunately as I installed Idea as a snap, I could revert to the previous install very simply with:

sudo snap revert intellij-idea-community

Don't forget to logoff and login again after the changes.
