I've not installed a snap in ages.  But I had a similar problem the
last time I did an installworld.  I had to manually copy in
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 and re-start the  installworld.

Did the problem start mid-way through the upgrade?  If so, perhaps you
could boot single-user, extract ld-elf.so.1 & copy it into place?

Cheers,

Drew
