snapcraft fail app
Metadata
Current evaluation
Snapcraft 2.43.1+18.4 crashes with FileNotFoundError when an app's command points to /bin/Sastreria, which is missing from the prime directory. No comments or labels; the affected 2.x version is long EOL and the code path no longer exists.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue is from snapcraft 2.43.1+18.4 (Ubuntu 18.04 era) and the failing code path (internal/meta/_snap_packaging.py) no longer exists in the current rearchitected codebase, which has snapcraft/meta/ and snapcraft/models/ instead. The root cause is user misconfiguration — the app's command references /bin/Sastreria which is absent from the prime directory — so it is effectively a usage error on a version that is no longer supported, with zero maintainer interaction in ~6 years.
