Description

The version of Flameshot available on the stable channel is absurdly outdated, and the snap content required for this version cannot even be found, which prevents its installation and consequently makes it seem like the Snap Store is buggy.

This is what appears when trying to install Flameshot from the stable channel:

error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Ensure prerequisites for "flameshot" are available (cannot install prerequisite "kde-frameworks-5-91-qt-5-15-3-core20": no snap revision available as specified)

Research direction
Update the version in the `snapcraft.yaml` file to match the latest stable release of Flameshot. Ensure the base snap (e.g., `kde frameworks 5-91 qt 5-15-3 core20`) is available or update the base. Test the snap by building locally with `snapcraft` and installing. The issue has no assignee or linked PRs, so it is available for a contributor.
