No, the problem is understood and won’t be fixed until portions of Multiple users and groups in snaps are implemented. This is something that is roadmapped but not prioritized. I’m working on it in the background to help out, so progress is being made, albeit slowly.
The options now are:
- patch to not do the chown (chown really doesn’t make sense if your are non-root anyway)
- use devmode or classic (boo)
- use snapcraft preload (it handles chown): GitHub - sergiusens/snapcraft-preload: Use smart preloading in your snaps to avoid hard coded parts that would fail security.
