Version 2.42.1 of the snapcraft CLI is now available for testing. This is a bug fix only release, the list of bugs fixed can be seen over at https://launchpad.net/snapcraft/+milestone/2.42.1

This release is available for testing in the following forms:

As a snap, available in the candidate channel:

$ sudo snap install --candidate --classic snapcraft

Or, if you already have it installed:

$ sudo snap refresh --candidate snapcraft

As a deb, in the proposed pocket of xenial and bionic, tracked by the SRU bug LP: #1771915. More information on testing the SRU is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed.

Or through docker, all risk levels of the snap are available as tagged Docker images, to check out the candidate tag:

$ docker pull snapcore/snapcraft:candidate

Happy testing,
Sergio

That is one of the expected outputs for Fedora. Are you being confused about the fedora VM PoC forum post by any chance?

I would expect snapcraft to show user friendly message that Fedora is not supported if that’s the case.
