Having python3-netaddr as a stage package produces external symlink
Metadata
Current evaluation
Specifying python3-netaddr as a stage-package in snapcraft 2.42 yields symlinks pointing outside the snap (to /var/lib/...), while build-packages give relative symlinks. Unlabelled, zero comments, no maintainer activity in ~8 years.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue has no labels, no comments, and no maintainer acknowledgement in ~8 years, so it has never been triaged; however, closing as stale is not justified without evidence the symlink behavior was fixed, since the reporter's complaint concerns general stage-package handling that may still apply to modern snapcraft. A maintainer should verify whether the /var/lib/... symlink problem is still reproducible on a current base (core22/core24) before deciding to close or fix.
