I do not hink you want to copy the lib file from snap to your OS lib dir.
This is because you have no idea how it is compiled.

The issue is your tesseract is snap and vobsub2srt is not. Snap packages
cannot share libraries, that is the point of snaps.

You need to:
a) find snap version of vobsub2srt which includes tesseract libs.
b) find not snap tesseract package.

If your vobsub2srt is snap, do a) else b)

Hope that helps,
Tomas
