[Trisquel-devel] triskel update-manager

How about instead of the Gnome program (update-manager) to update 
Triskel we use plasma-discover? In the menu after it is installed, it is 
called Discover in the System sub menu.

At present there is annoying error message about a config file not being 
present whether you put one there or not when we use update-manager or 
as it is called Software Updater in the menu.

Synaptic is okay, but there is another package manager called apper. 
Apper doesn't seem able to get privileges.

I don't think we support snap packages though. 
plasma-discover-backend-snap is available in Trisquel 11 and 12.

"Description: Discover software management suite - Snap backend
  Discover is a graphical software manager for the Plasma workspace.
  It helps users easily and quickly find applications and other software
  they might want to install.

  "This package contains a backend for the Ubuntu Core Snappy application
  bundling system."
