snap download vpv

Generates the attached file and a vpv_229.snap of 79.4 MB.

Could just request the original program author if it is his own snap package. I asked him vocally if I remember correctly.

Current workaround consists in compiling from the source code itself but have to pay attention to new releases, as a result I subscribed to them on GitHub.

Related to Benjamin_Loison/snapd/issues/1.
