Thank you @Lin-Buo-Ren & @mborzecki for your assistance. I was afraid the server was not actually a CentOS system.
I am trying to build the RPM from source but have some questions as I have never done this before:
1. Running rpmbuild -bs snapd.spec requires that I have 2 files in SOURCES:
- snapd_2.47.1.no-vendor.tar.xz
- snapd_2.47.1.only-vendor.tar.xz
The tarball from the repository link is named otherwise, so I copied it twice and renamed it. This is likely incorrect because…
2. After it builds I see the following output:
systemd_post: invalid option -- '-'
error: Unknown option - in systemd_post()
Wrote: /root/rpmbuild/SRPMS/snapd-2.47.1-0.amzn2.src.rpm
3. I then ran rpmlint to check the integrity of the binary and received:
> rpmlint snapd-2.47.1-0.amzn2.src.rpm

I assume the warnings are probably ok; but there are some errors as well. I haven’t gone further than this yet as I am not quite sure if I should try to install this RPM given the errors mentioned.
Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
