Snapd 2.65.3 Reverted due to LDAP issue: guidance for users

Dear community,

During the release of snapd 2.65.3, we identified a regression impacting systems using LDAP support. The problem only affects a subset of snapd snap users who were part of our progressive release sample and have updated to this version.

After careful evaluation we decided to revert to 2.63.

Users who have received the update and encounter the issue should revert their systems to 2.63 by using the command sudo snap revert snapd.

The issue is not present when installing snapd from the deb package.

The issue is addressed in snapd 2.66, currently on the beta channel, which is expected to be released to stable in due course.

We’ve taken steps to reduce the chance of similar issues happening in the future.

Please follow this thread for updates and let us know if you have any questions.

I was facing issue, where home directories were not accessible and portals were also not working when home was connected. Reverted to 2.63.

We have completed the revert to 2.63. If you are still using 2.65.3 we advise you to refresh your snap by using the command sudo snap refresh snapd .
