I decided to start using snap and found that it is very broken in almost every step of the way.
I have Ubuntu 22.04 and started following the tutorial with the following snapcraft.yml
name: controlenv # you probably want to 'snapcraft register <name>'
base: core20 # the base snap is the execution environment for this snap
version: '0.1' # just for humans, typically '1.2+git' or '1.3.2'
summary: Test summary
description: |
Test description
grade: devel # must be 'stable' to release into candidate/stable channels
confinement: devmode # use 'strict' once you have the right plugs and slots
parts:
gnu-hello:
source: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/hello-2.10.tar.gz
plugin: autotools
First thing I noticed is that it started trying to pull packages from apt and was frozen because it was trying to use IPV6 when my vps didn’t have IPV6 enabled. So I tried removing ipv6 from LXC with
lxc network set lxdbr0 ipv6.address none
deleted the container and restarted snapcraft --use-lxd it still tries to use ipv6 inside the container… So I finally gave up and spent time activating ipv6 on the host.
Now after it downloads all the packages, there is ANOTHER error.
autoconf set to automatically installed.
automake set to automatically installed.
autopoint set to automatically installed.
gcc set to automatically installed.
libtool set to automatically installed.
'NoneType' object is not subscriptable
We would appreciate it if you anonymously reported this issue.
No other data than the traceback and the version of snapcraft in use will be sent.
Would you like to send this error data? (Yes/No/Always/View) [no]:
Here is the error

And the funny thing is that sending the error message also results in an error. Which means that you are probably not getting this error message.
