This seems to produce build failures e.g.:

https://launchpadlibrarian.net/524859541/buildlog_snap_ubuntu_focal_amd64_checkbox-release20-beta_BUILDING.txt.gz

the corresponding snapcraft.yaml

I’ve verified this looks good for some gnome-3-38 as well as gnome-3-34 snaps. Thanks!

I think your issue is because you have multiple python parts and also targeting core20. When targeting core20 snapcraft uses python venv to install each python part. You have multiple python parts, each being installed into a venv at the same location. Because you have multiple venvs they conflict. You could try using stage to prevent the conflicting python3 executable from being staged from one of the parts to see if it continues to completion.

Is this reproduceable with the stable channel? As in, is it a regression or a bug surface by migrating to core20?

6

It is not reproducible on stable, so yes a regression. Looking at the change list I think it arrived with #3320

7

Confirmed the regression, I have a fix PR’d:

Sorry about that!
