 NOTE: snap-telemetry packages prior to 0.19.0 installed `/usr/local/bin/{snapctl|snapd}` and these binaries have been renamed to `snaptel` and `snapteld`. snap-telemetry packages prior to 0.18.0 symlinked `/usr/bin/{snapctl|snapd}` to `/opt/snap/bin/{snapctl|snapd}` and may cause conflicts with [Ubuntu's `snapteld` package](http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/snapd). Ubuntu 16.04.1 [snapteld package version 2.13+](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd) installs snapd/snapctl binary in /usr/bin. These executables are not related to snap-telemetry. Running `snapctl` from snapd package will result in the following error message:
