Description Andreas Zuber 2020-04-11 18:24:45 UTC 
If the /etc/snapper/configs directory doesn't exist, snapper will quit with a very strange error message when trying to create a config:

# snapper create-config /
Failure (error.something).

After creating the /etc/snapper/configs directory it worked. This should probably be created by the ebuild.

I followed the documentation here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Snapper

please report upstream too, the error message should be meaningful.
Comment 2 Andreas Zuber 2020-04-12 11:22:23 UTC 
Filed an upstream bug about the error message https://github.com/openSUSE/snapper/issues/533
