Issue body

### Bug Description It seems like the lxd snap stable channel updated to a version not yet compatible with charmcraft. Unfortunately, it is not easy to roll back lxd to a previous version, because its internal database would break. ### To Reproduce - `lxd` and `charmcraft` snaps both tracking `latest/stable` - `charmcraft pack` ### Environment OS: Ubuntu 23.10 Snaps: ```shell sudo snap list | grep -E "lxd|charmcraft" charmcraft 2.5.5 2453 latest/stable canonical** classic lxd 5.21.1-43998c6 28155 latest/stable canonical** - ``` ### charmcraft.yaml ```shell # Copyright 2023 Canonical Ltd. # See LICENSE file for licensing details. type: charm parts: charm: charm-binary-python-packages: - setuptools build-packages: - pkg-config - libffi-dev - libssl-dev - rustc - cargo bases: - build-on: - name: "ubuntu" channel: "22.04" run-on: - name: "ubuntu" channel: "22.04" ``` ### Relevant log output ```shell cat /home/alex/.local/state/charmcraft/log/charmcraft-20240411-101147.334110.log 2024-04-11 10:11:47.335 Starting charmcraft version 2.5.5 2024-04-11 10:11:47.336 Reading '/home/alex/work/zookeeper-k8s-operator/metadata.yaml' 2024-04-11 10:11:47.338 Validating metadata keys 2024-04-11 10:11:47.339 Reading '/home/alex/work/zookeeper-k8s-operator/actions.yaml' 2024-04-11 10:11:47.340 Validating actions.yaml 2024-04-11 10:11:47.340 Reading '/home/alex/work/zookeeper-k8s-operator/config.yaml' 2024-04-11 10:11:47.341 Validating config.yaml 2024-04-11 10:11:47.342 System details: OSPlatform(system='ubuntu', release='23.10', machine='x86_64'); Environment: DESKTOP_SESSION='ubuntu', XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP='ubuntu:GNOME' 2024-04-11 10:11:47.358 Packing the charm. 2024-04-11 10:11:47.456 charmcraft internal error: InvalidVersion("Invalid version: '5.21.1 LTS'") 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 Traceback (most recent call last): 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 File "/snap/charmcraft/2453/lib/python3.10/site-packages/charmcraft/main.py", line 187, in main 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 retcode = dispatcher.run() 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 File "/snap/charmcraft/2453/lib/python3.10/site-packages/craft_cli/dispatcher.py", line 484, in run 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 return self._loaded_command.run(self._parsed_command_args) 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 File "/snap/charmcraft/2453/lib/python3.10/site-packages/charmcraft/commands/pack.py", line 153, in run 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 self._pack_charm(parsed_args, builder) 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 File "/snap/charmcraft/2453/lib/python3.10/site-packages/charmcraft/commands/pack.py", line 204, in _pack_charm 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 charms = builder.run( 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 File "/snap/charmcraft/2453/lib/python3.10/site-packages/charmcraft/instrum.py", line 152, in _f 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 return func(*args, **kwargs) 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 File "/snap/charmcraft/2453/lib/python3.10/site-packages/charmcraft/package.py", line 282, in run 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 charmcraft.providers.ensure_provider_is_available(self.provider) 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 File "/snap/charmcraft/2453/lib/python3.10/site-packages/charmcraft/providers.py", line 232, in ensure_provider_is_available 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 provider.ensure_provider_is_available() 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 File "/snap/charmcraft/2453/lib/python3.10/site-packages/craft_providers/lxd/lxd_provider.py", line 80, in ensure_provider_is_available 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 ensure_lxd_is_ready() 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 File "/snap/charmcraft/2453/lib/python3.10/site-packages/craft_providers/lxd/installer.py", line 127, in ensure_lxd_is_ready 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 if not lxd.is_supported_version(): 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 File "/snap/charmcraft/2453/lib/python3.10/site-packages/craft_providers/lxd/lxd.py", line 85, in is_supported_version 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 return packaging.version.parse(version) >= minimum_version 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 File "/snap/charmcraft/2453/lib/python3.10/site-packages/packaging/version.py", line 54, in parse 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 return Version(version) 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 File "/snap/charmcraft/2453/lib/python3.10/site-packages/packaging/version.py", line 200, in __init__ 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 raise InvalidVersion(f"Invalid version: '{version}'") 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 packaging.version.InvalidVersion: Invalid version: '5.21.1 LTS' 2024-04-11 10:11:47.461 Full execution log: '/home/alex/.local/state/charmcraft/log/charmcraft-20240411-101147.334110.log' ```
