Unable to install applets

Hi,

I am new to ubuntu-budgie (not new to ubuntu linux).
Since today I am no longer able to add applets. I did install some this weekend, but today I got an error.

I get the following error:


$ budgie-applets --debug

I am using the following versions:

I also tried the 0.10.2 version with the same results!

my ubuntu version is:

$ lsb_release -a 
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu

I am not sure what to do next.

Yeah - my bad. Fixed.

snap refresh

This should refresh with v0.10.3
