Inkscape snap fails to open/import/convert .eps files

Steps to reproduce:

  1. launch the Inkscape snap
  2. drag the provided .eps file to the Inkscape page
  3. observe the error from the screenshots

What should have happened?

It should have imported the .eps file or convert is using ps2pdf and then import the pdf. Idk how that works exactly but the file should have been imported onto the Inkscape canvas.
