I have a machine which is running deepin15. I installed snapd from their archive which gives me snapd 2.30-5+b1. I’ve installed some snaps which work fine elsewhere and come across a snag.
I can’t install the NextCloud snap because there are errors in the configure hook (permission denied). Is this a problem with NextCloud (ping @kyrofa) (which is odd given it works elsewhere), or snapd (ping @zyga-snapd) :).

I installed a bunch of other snaps okay, but I don’t believe any there have configure hooks.

Here’s the system details.

snap 2.30-5+b1
snapd 2.30-5+b1
series 16
deepin 15.7
kernel 4.15.0-29deepin-generic
Looks like it doesn’t support re-exec, as I’m on a much newer core, but we’re still on old snapd.

Can we get snapd updated in Deepin?
How many other snaps are affected in this way? How do we know which snaps will fail and not indicate to the user that it’s actually an old version of snapd at fault, not the snap they’re installing? (assuming that’s the issue).
Deepin is based on Debian, with their own archive.
