Bug Description

Trying to update the ubuntu-core snap on a 16.04 desktop:

 $ sudo snappy update ubuntu-core
 the given snap is not installed

mvo tells me:

<mvo> dpm: there is a systemd job that will auto-update ubuntu-core
<mvo> dpm: hm, that is a bug, I think because we use channels now in some internal api

To me, the message is a bit confusing. If the intent is for the ubuntu-core snap to be automatically updated on the desktop, I'd suggest the error message to mention something along those lines.

This is fixed in snappy 16. There was a bit of an API change in the store but we fixed this for snapd 2.0.x.
