I explained the problem right here:

I don’t think we can do anything at this point.

Running Fedora 31 for a while I noticed that desktop applications don’t display the icon or name in the alt-tab app switcher. It’s odd because they show up perfectly fine in gnome shell itself before the app is launched.

I’m pleased to release snapd updates for Enterprise Linux users!

snapd-2.43.3 has been proposed for EPEL 7 and EPEL 8.

Please test and give karma!

Hi, thanks for the quoting regarding the original epel/centos8 issue. it look like the workflow for epel is a bit weird and look out of sync with the core repos of centos, which indeed is not really related to snapd as you pointed out.

On my end I just tested installing snapd in a centos8 vm and it works now :slight_smile:

thanks for your patience and the extra infos ! much appreciated :blush:

I got following messages on RHEL 8.2, it seems selinux policy updated again? I can successful installed on previous snapd-2.43.3-1.

Error:
Problem: package snapd-2.45-1.el8.x86_64 requires snapd-selinux = 2.45-1.el8, but none of the providers can be installed

  • conflicting requests
  • nothing provides selinux-policy-base >= 3.14.3-41.el8_2.2 needed by snapd-selinux-2.45-1.el8.noarch
    (try to add ‘–skip-broken’ to skip uninstallable packages or ‘–nobest’ to use not only best candidate packages)

Thanks.

Works for me. Perhaps your mirror did not refresh. I see the following version in the BaseOS repo:

[guest@rhel-8-devel ~]$ sudo dnf list selinux-policy
Updating Subscription Management repositories.

You are right, I changed another mirror. It work properly.

Thanks!

I installed a new RHEL 8 bc my old laptop died. I couldn’t install snaps using snapd version 2.53.4-1.el8. I dl your new versions of snapd/snap-confine/snapd-selinux 2.54.1-1.el8 packages, uninstalled the previous ones, and installed these 3 packages. Snaps now install without an issue. Thanks!!
