"which vobsub2srt" will tell you where the program lives. snap apps are isolated to their own little filesystem but your mutant DEB should have installed it to /usr/bin/.

After which tells you were the executable is, you can use ldd /path/to/program to get a list of all libraries and where it expects to find them. There are ways to point to the correct libraries but you have to decide which package to use before setting that up.
