Ubuntu 16.04 snap install error

This is a bug that was already fixed in the code base.

There will be a new stable release update (SRU) soon. Updating your snapd once this is out should get rid of the problem.

Sorry for the trouble.

    I'm having problems installing snap-packages on Ubuntu 16.04 x64.

    For example, when I try to install hello-world, it downloads ubuntu-core and then throws this error:

    ~$ sudo snap install hello-world
    64.64 MB / 64.64 MB 
    [======================================] 100.00 % 
    error: cannot perform the following tasks:
    - Make snap "ubuntu-core" available to the system (can not set next boot: cannot determine bootloader)
    

    I have no idea what I should do.
    I've tried googling it, but I seem to be the only one having trouble with it. =(

      Did you install ubuntu-core? sudo apt install ubuntu-core

      Well, then, install it with sudo apt install ubuntu-core

      Um, there are not ubuntu-core itself but many ubuntu-core-* packages like *-config, *-launcher, *-libs & etc. Tried ubuntu-core-snapd-utils nothing changes.
