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.

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.
