Chromium fails to build on !amd64: snapcraft complains that the 'pull' step of 'gtk3-locales' is out of date

A workaround which will carry on working given this is the nil plugin is to add

override-pull: echo "no source pull"

Or something like that (empty object should work too) to that part.

Indeed, and I now remember I read about it here. Thanks for the tip! That doesn’t explain why the build is failing only on !amd64 though.

I would like to ask as well that if you can you avoid using relative paths that leave the original PWD you are inserted into, that will probably break in the future as fulfillment on building within containers where all part directories are different becomes more prevalent ( QUILT_PATCHES=../../../patches quilt push -a )

Is there a $SNAPCRAFT_* variable that points to the root of the tree, where that patches/ directory lives? Or a mechanism to have it copied over to the part’s source directory before building?

@lucyllewy

I’d recommend applying the same fix ( override-pull: ... ) to the shared-mime-info part, too, because that is possibly also going to encounter this problem of complaining about sources changing.

Ack, I will apply the workaround there too, thanks for the suggestion.
