unusual mode 'rwxr-xr-x' for symlink '
Metadata
Current evaluation
2015 report that a click-app build on myapps.developer.ubuntu.com failed with 'unusual mode rwxr-xr-x for symlink' warnings. No labels, no comments, no maintainer response in ~9.5 years; the referenced build portal no longer exists.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue is 3478 days old with zero comments, no labels, and no maintainer engagement, and it references a myapps.developer.ubuntu.com click-app build — a portal that has since been shut down — so the reported failure is no longer reproducible in the current snapcraft build system. The 'unusual mode' message is snapcraft's expected warning for symlinks not at the conventional 0777 mode, so the reporter's 0755 symlinks were the actual problem, leaving no open defect to track.

Semantically similar snapcraft symlink build-failure bug, but it concerns absolute symlinks not being fixed up rather than symlink mode warnings; different root cause.
