|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1666735 snapcraft cleanbuild does not work with lxd installed via snap | snapcraft (launchpad) | closed | Closed without resolution or merge. The report notes snapcraft cleanbuild fails to detect LXD installed via snap, suggesting checks via snap list or lxc list instead of apt cache. No fix was implemented or documented. | |
| #1697979 snapcraft fails on initial cleanbuild probe | snapcraft (launchpad) | closed | Closed without resolution. Snapcraft cleanbuild failed due to LXD connection errors when LXD was provided via a third-party snap alias. The report received no comments or fixes and was abandoned. | |
| #1839399 snapcraft not pulling snap from lxd container | snapcraft (launchpad) | open | 2019 report that snapcraft 3.7.1 with --use-lxd built a snap inside the LXD container but never copied it back to the host. No labels, no maintainer interaction, 7 years old; the LXD provider has since been rewritten via craft-providers. | |
| #1890965 snapcraft --use-lxd is broken | snapcraft (launchpad) | closed | Closed without a documented fix. The hardcoded LXD image URL returning 404 broke CI. Likely abandoned or resolved upstream. | |
| #1750642 Snapcraft fails in LXD container on Debian 9 | snapcraft (launchpad) | closed | Closed as stale. The Snapcraft LXD container build failure on Debian 9 was not resolved due to outdated Debian and Snapcraft versions no longer being supported. | |
| #4443 snapcraft on ARM 64 - stuck at lxd | snapcraft | closed | Resolved in Snapcraft 7.5.4 by implementing a network timeout instead of an infinite loop. The hang was caused by LXD container networking misconfigurations, often due to Docker or VPN conflicts. Closed as fixed. | |
| #1746612 Snapcraft cleanbuild doesn't work if you're not using the LXD snap | snapcraft (launchpad) | closed | Closed without resolution. Snapcraft hardcodes the LXD snap path during cleanbuild, causing failures with deb-installed LXD. The report appears abandoned or superseded by updated Snapcraft versions that dynamically detect LXD installations. | |
| #1801155 Snapcraft should copy its config when running in SNAPCRAFT_BUILD_ENVIRONMENT=lxd | snapcraft (launchpad) | closed | Snapcraft failing to copy cli.cfg to LXD build environments was closed without comments or resolution, indicating the request was abandoned. No fix was implemented. | |
| #1865230 snapcraft --use-lxd should have message about requring sudo | snapcraft (launchpad) | open | snapcraft 3.x --use-lxd (LXD provider, a technology preview) left LXD in a broken state when run without sudo; reporter suggests failing early. 6.5 years old, zero comments, no labels or maintainer interaction; LXD preview since superseded by Multipass. | |
| #1825820 Snapcraft doesn't update the `snapcraft-project` disk source when the path is moved | snapcraft (launchpad) | open | Snapcraft --use-lxd fails after moving the project directory because the LXD disk source 'snapcraft-project' still points at the old path. Open ~7.4 years with no labels, comments, or maintainer interaction; LXD build support has since been removed from snapcraft. |
