Hi there,
I have read the tutorial which explains how to download a snap file locally to be able to install it afterwards even on a machine without internet access. The explanations are really good and, in fact, I was able to download a snap file I was interested in, but when I tried to install it on a machine with no internet access the installation process aborted. The first command given was the one for the assertion (“snap ack”) and everything went flawlessly, but when I gave the “setup install” to install the snap I received this message:
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Ensure prerequisites for “x16emu” are available (cannot get nonce from store: Post https://api.snapcraft.io/api/v1/snaps/auth/nonces: dial tcp: lookup api.snapcraft.io on [::1]:53: read udp [::1]:49119->[::1]:53: read: connection refused)
with immediate installation abortion. Now the question is: the tutorial expressely says that the possibility to download the snap files is given to grant the ability to carry out installations without a connection, but which is the sense and usefulness of it if afterwards the installation process wants to access internet anyway?
Note: I am using a Debian 10.0 Buster.
Thanks a lot, folks! All the best!
