Snap daemon fails when launching pg_dump

The yorokobi snap has a yorokobi.daemon that fails when it tries to backup a database using pg_dump.

This is the exception log:

2019-02-28 18:23:47,720 - yorokobi - INFO - End Of File (EOF). Exception style platform.

This error is happening somewhere at this point:

If I look into the pg_dump file at the line described in the error I can see it is requiring these two modules:

use POSIX;        #line 21
use PgCommon;     #line 22

Im stuck here as I can’t edit the pg_dump file to further debug (its mounted as read-only by snap).

PgCommon is located at /snap/yorokobi/209/usr/share/postgresql-common so I binded it, but still I get the same error.

layout:
  /usr/share/postgresql:
    bind: $SNAP/usr/share/postgresql
  /usr/share/postgresql-common:
    bind: $SNAP/usr/share/postgresql-common

Any idea what is causing this or how to continue debugging from this point?

2

Bumping this. Any idea?

3

is the snap including all the perl modules it needs?

4

I listed perl and perl-base in stage-packages. Is there anything else that I am missing?

you need to mangle the module import path for perl somehow in the environment, else it wont find its modules (if your script uses any)
