Charles you are dealing with an older OS that has less than 10 months
before End of Life and attempting to use an old version of Audacity by
installing via ppa which should work if you trust the owner of the ppa.
I have no experience there. Recommend that you launch your favorite web
browser and attempt to find a solution on the www. Or go to the Ubuntu
Forums, https://ubuntuforums.org/ or Ask Ubuntu, https://askubuntu.com/
and ask the question. Both are free forums and only require you to
register to ask a question. You are free to search the forums for a
solution that may have already been asked and answered.

ubuntu 16.04
Audacity fouled up, have tried
sudo apt-get remove audacity
sudo apt-get purge audacity
I also used some command to remove the associated ppa, cann’t remember what it was
But nothing removes audacity.
When I try to remove from software manager, I get this error
Detailed errors from the package manager follow:
snapd operation finished with error cannot perform the following tasks:
- Disconnect audacity:gtk-2-engines from gtk2-common-themes:gtk-2-

update.go:85: cannot change mount namespace according to change unmount (/var/lib/snapd/hostfs/usr/
cannot update snap namespace: no such file or directory
When I launch Audacity I get an error about something fails at startup.
