Stage-packages causes build failure

snapcraft
1

Whenever I have stage-packages: my snapcraft.yaml, I get following build error:

Sorry, an error occurred in Snapcraft:
[Errno 13] Permission denied: ‘ubuntu-keyring-2012-cdimage.gpg’
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]:

Build command I use is:
SNAPCRAFT_BUILD_ENVIRONMENT=host snapcraft

Workaround:
Comment (#) stage-packages: and build the snap. Then un-comment stage-packages: and rebuild. Build goes fine then.

device:~$ snap version
snap 2.43.3
snapd 2.43.3

Not before, but I have now and sent it. Repasting here as well.

This is not really documented behavior and really a shortcut to using --destructive-mode. Keep in mind that this would not be a problem with the normal behavior or when using --use-lxd. While we can solve the Traceback, it will still result on PermissionError. To work around this, if you want to use this envvar, you should run sudo snapcraft with the implications of --destructive-mode.

This gets me into a different problem. I pull few others repo’s while building my snap and I see pull failure:

device:~/ostpm_24mar/os-tpm$ sudo SNAPCRAFT_BUILD_ENVIRONMENT=host snapcraft
Pulling os-util
Cloning into ‘/home/busybox/ostpm_24mar/os-tpm/parts/os-util/src’…
git@stash.xyz.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Failed to pull source, command ‘git clone --recursive --branch brd_sys_info_getenv ssh://git@stash.xyz.com/emb/os-util.git /home/busybox/ostpm_24mar/os-tpm/parts/os-util/src’ exited with code 128.
device:~/ostpm_24mar/os-tpm$

which is not seen without stage-packages

Moving from

snapcraft 3.11 4282 latest/stable canonical✓ classic

to

snapcraft 3.11+git79.g75dd96fa 4579 latest/edge canonical✓ classic

resolved the issue.
