I am trying to build a snap with core22. The linter seems to complain no matter the result.

Not sure what to check next, any insights would be helpful

I updated my patching function, which did point to the right linker

hurricane@ubuntudev:~/neovim$ readelf -p .interp /snap/nvim/current/usr/bin/nvim

String dump of section '.interp':
  [     0]  /snap/core22/current/lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1

But again the linter complains

The linter shouldn’t be complaining about the dynamic linker and the warning can be safely ignored. This is a bug that has already been addressed and the fix is available in snapcraft in the edge channel (along with auto ELF file patching when build attribute enable-patchelf is specified). I’ll add a hotfix for the stable 7.2 series too.
