Bug Description
'snap install <name>' exits with return code 1 if the snap is already installed and prints error message:
error: cannot install "<name>": snap "<name>" already installed
It would make scripting much easier if it worked in the same way as apt-get which is to return 0 when there is nothing to do with info message, something like:
"snap <name> already installed"
snap 2.14.2~16.04
snapd 2.14.2~16.04
series 16
ubuntu 16.04

Snap layer for juju needs to work around this bug to make the install helper idempotent.
