Multipass & libvirt services not restarted after snapcraft 3.0 installation
Metadata
Current evaluation
Snapcraft 3.0 install reportedly stops multipass/libvirt services, breaking 'multipass list' until manual restart. 7.75 years old, zero comments, no labels, author account deactivated, no maintainer interaction.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue is 2831 days (~7.75 years) old with zero comments, no labels, and no maintainer interaction, and the author's account is now deactivated. The affected version (snapcraft 3.0) is long superseded by current 8.x releases, and the requested fix (automatic service restart) belongs to the multipass snap rather than snapcraft, so the original problem is no longer reproducible or actionable here.
