Error downloading stage packages for part 'desktop-qt5': The package 'appmenu-qt5' was not found

1

Hi, i’m getting this error if i use after:[desktop-qt5] in my *.yaml file. Any hints?

2

are you using snapcraft cleanbuild ? sounds like you are building on a release where appmenu-qt5 does not exist …

3

It looks like appmenu-qt5 was removed in Zesty:

So the cloud part will fail when trying to build a snap on any newer distro release. I wonder if we can make the dependency distro release dependent, for when more people start building against e.g. an 18.04 base snap?

4

well, effectively you always only want to build against 16.04 anyway until base snaps are a fully supported thing … just using snapcraft cleanbuild will fix the issue (nobody should use plain “snapcraft” without cleanbuild for any production snaps anyway) …

Hi: Thanks a lot for the answers!
When i try to execute snapcraft cleanbuild i get this:

Permission denied, are you in the lxd group?
There are either no permissions or the remote ‘local’ does not exist.
Verify the existing remotes by running lxc remote list

Refer to the documentation at https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/getting-started-cli.

If i run it with sudo:

I think that if everyone should use always cleanbuild, there must be a tutorial of using it, but i could not find any.
Thanks!
