### Check existing issues - [x] I've verified that this bug isn't described by any existing issues. ### Bug description Running remote-build fails when using build-base devel, with an internal error "Build request failed." This is probably a craft-application bug (and probably due to the fact that launchpad doesn't know what devel is), but I'm on a roll with other things so I'm avoiding triaging for the moment, sorry. ### Steps to reproduce run `rockcraft remote-build` with the given YAML file. ### Environment Remote build ### rockcraft.yaml ```yaml name: python-apt-wheels base: bare build-base: devel adopt-info: wheels summary: Wheels for python-apt description: Wheels for python-apt platforms: # the platforms this rock should be built on and run on amd64: arm64: armhf: ppc64el: riscv64: s390x: parts: wheels: plugin: nil build-snaps: - astral-uv build-packages: - python3.13-dev - python3.14-dev - python-apt-dev - libapt-pkg-dev override-pull: | sed -i 's/deb/deb deb-src/' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources || sed -i 's/# deb-src/deb-src/' /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update apt-get --yes full-upgrade override-build: | apt source python-apt export GLIBC_VERSION="$(ldd --version | grep GLIBC | cut -d' ' -f4 | cut -d- -f1 | tr . _)" export DEBVER="$(apt-cache show python3-apt|grep Version | head -n 1|cut -d' ' -f2)" craftctl set version="${DEBVER}" cd python-apt-*[0-9] for python_version in 3.8 3.9 3.10 3.11 3.12 3.13 3.14 3.14t;
