Same problem solved just by instructions.

supernode@localhost:~> sudo snap install haruna
error: snap "haruna" has "install-snap" change in progress

.

supernode@localhost:~> snap changes
ID   Status  Spawn               Ready               Summary
1    Done    today at 12:20 IST  today at 12:20 IST  Initialize system state
2    Doing   today at 12:21 IST  -                   Install "haruna" snap
3    Done    today at 12:21 IST  today at 12:21 IST  Initialize device

Now i have to stop installing process ID 2.

supernode@localhost:~> snap help

Run snap changes in console to watch if task is still Doing. In my case I see this:

ID   Status  Spawn               Ready               Summary
1    Done    2020-12-22          2020-12-22          Initialize system state
2    Error   today at 00:50 CET  today at 01:01 CET  Install "intellij-idea-community" snap
3    Done    today at 00:50 CET  today at 00:50 CET  Initialize device
4    Doing   today at 09:43 CET  -                   Install "intellij-idea-community" snap

If I use snap watch 4 I can see the progress of the task in real time.

So the task I cancelled manually because it was late has been resumed automatically, I only have to wait.

Wait for a few minutes. Then run sudo snap remove spotify to remove spotify snap from your machine. Then again you can run sudo snap install spotify to install the spotify snap in your machine. Thanks.
