[SOLVED]Why is my build failing?

I tried updating snap, but every time I try, this error appears:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/rst2man", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(rst2man())
             ~~~~~~~^^

 -> error making: snapd-exit status 4
 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
snapd - exit status 4

I tried troubleshooting it myself by regenerating the locale, to no avail.

Re: [SOLVED]Why is my build failing?

What do you get from `locale` and `locale -a`?

Re: [SOLVED]Why is my build failing?

so you've specifically set a number of things to es_ES.UTF-8, but you did not generate that locale. See /etc/locale.gen. Also, why are you including iso88591 locales?

Re: [SOLVED]Why is my build failing?

Ok, I removed the iso locales, and loaded es_ES.UTF-8, and it fixed the issue
