This is fixed now.

Also, the snap is using 18.04 depends and should have better versions of GTK/etc. that we use now.

The snap is built using Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~ted/+snap/inkscape-master

Awesome. =) Install instructions need to be updated. Right now they are hard to
discover, and I'd be interested to know how many Linux users who came to download
page are actually follow the `snap` link and end up downloading snaps instead of
something else.

`snap` had already updated automatically, and I could fill the first PR after inspecting
Inkscape version. The PR failed because of code formatting and I don't know how to resolve this: https://gitlab.com/techtonik/inkscape/-/jobs/125913035

There is no `inkview` packed in snap. Its binary is called "inkscape.viewer". Is it
intentional? There is also this WARNING on Ubuntu 18.10. Is it fixable?

$ /snap/bin/inkscape.viewer -V
