@zyga-snapd and I had a look at updating snapd in Debian unstable to 2.35.2. I’ve updated the packaging and pushed it to a new home on salsa:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/snapd
However the github.com/snapcore/snapd/interfaces/apparmor tests fail, so we need to debug that before we can upload the new package.
Any update on this upgrade?
Indeed, would be nice to get this out.
Fwiw the full failure is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rMZ5F4nVtr/
One option of course would be to disable/ignore these particular tests. I don’t understand what they are testing well enough to know if they reflect significant defects in functionality.
I updated salsa to 2.37 and more tests fail, full log at http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mrS6zc2vBc/ (some details in --help wrapping?)
That previous log was a Debian schroot on my bionic laptop. I ran the build on a debian porter box to see if the ubuntu kernel was a factor and lo and behold the apparmor tests pass. The wrapping ones still fail though.
The wrapping ones are due to a mismatch in the version of go-flags. The tests could be changed to use testutil.EqualsWrapped if getting the right go-flags is not an option (but note the generated manpage will probably be buggy, as that was the main thing fixed by the go-flags version bump).
