Hey
This is a series of posts that I will be maintaining on the forum. Each one will focus on a specific distribution and release (as appropriate). Each one will be backed by automatic tests that can replicate that experience.
On Debian 9 (stretch) today we have a bug where apt-get install snapd
followed by snap install hello-world
breaks while snap install core; snap install hello-world
works correctly. I will be addressing this issue soon, linking to pull requests and bugs.
I just made a pull request with initial out-of-the-box tests https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/3635
As expected one of the tests is disabled as it is really just broken on Debian now. To run those tests you need to specify them explicitly and manually:

@zyga-snapd Let’s please not hold general and long-lived topics like proposed here. This leads to fragmented conversations and lack of focus (it’s not even out-of-topic, because there’s no topic), which means we can’t really tell what to expect or when to dive into its content on a search.
