Current evaluation

Request to add $SNAP/usr/local/bin to the PATH in snap command-*.wrapper files, since autotools defaults to that prefix. Open ~9 years with no labels, comments, or maintainer interaction.

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: The command-*.wrapper scripts and their PATH are generated by snapd at install time, not by snapcraft, so this is misdirected to the wrong project and unactionable here. It has had zero comments, no labels, and no maintainer engagement for ~9 years (last activity 3209 days ago), making it both inactive and no longer applicable to this repo.

Issue body

In /snap/*/current/command-*.wrapper, PATH is "$SNAP/usr/sbin:$SNAP/usr/bin:$SNAP/sbin:$SNAP/bin:$PATH". This should include $SNAP/usr/local/bin. Autotools defaults to it for prefix, so it's easy to trip over this one just as the ffmpeg part did: https://github.com/Winael/ffmpeg/pull/1
