Why does this break apt?
Just because, I assume (I am using Debian btw), it installs a placeholder deb-package which, while running the postinst script, installs chromium via snap commands?
The issue here is that people don’t like this other thing and so the distribution which has been moving towards this other thing for like a decade now I guess is the bad guy for continuing to work towards that goal.

It doesn’t break apt, apt just prefers snaps now.

It doesn’t break apt, Canonical just broke their version of apt
justto prefer snaps now.FTFY
OK, so it’s actually apt itself that’s different on Ubuntu, not just fake/virtual/transitional deb packages in their repos.
