I’m trying to get Snapcraft setup on Arch Linux. I installed snapd-git from the AUR. I installed Snapcraft snap with snap install snapcraft --classic. I also installed the LXC snap. I’m now trying to test a container build using snapcraft init && snapcraft cleanbuild and I’m getting the following output:
Looking up assertion ['snap-declaration', 'snap-name=core']

On Arch-Linux there is var-lib-snapd-snap-core-4917.mount instead of snapd-snap-core-4917.mount as snap filesystem is mounted in /var/lib to satisfy filesystem hierarchy scheme. Maybe this the cause of your erro ?
I’m quite new to snap, but as far as I understand it would require creating arch compatible snapcraft snap to handle the issue…
Or rebuild Archs snapd package replacing SNAP_MOUNT_DIR=/var/lib/snapd/snap with SNAP_MOUNT_DIR=/snap
I’m currently trying to incorporate second solution, without success, yet (PKGBUILD.patch https://pastebin.com/Ji1pPstX)
That’s something you do not want to do. Arch package is using /var/lib/snapd/snap as /snap is not FHS compliant and in general ends up being a point of controversy across distros. Given this, the code expects /var/lib/snapd/snap on Arch.
I have not used snapcraft on Arch (maybe I should?). My guess, there’s something failing in the container. Try entering the debug shell (snapcraft foo --debug) and inspecting the journal manually. Since it’s a container and LXD there’s probably a bunch of things that can go wrong.
Thank you. I’m now getting a different error message. I’m not sure about this one either. Does this have to do with my lxc configuration again?
