Current evaluation

gnome-3-34 snap extension missing harfbuzz, causing a pango symbol lookup error (hb_buffer_set_invisible_glyph) in built snaps. Open ~5.7 years, zero comments, no maintainer response; extension is deprecated.

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: The issue is 2086 days old with 0 comments and no maintainer interaction, and it targets the gnome-3-34 extension, which is a deprecated GNOME platform no longer shipped in current Ubuntu base images — the affected extension is no longer relevant to newer versions of the project. The related Launchpad bug (1908061) is likewise still open but inactive for over five years with no response, so there is no in-flight work to preserve. Closing as stale is appropriate; users needing GNOME should migrate to a currently supported gnome extension.

Issue body

Running a snap that has been built with `extensions: [gnome-3-34]` results in: /snap/${snap}/x1/gnome-platform/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-3-0/gtk-query-immodules-3.0: symbol lookup error: /snap/meshlab/x1/gnome-platform/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpango-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: hb_buffer_set_invisible_glyph It seems that this extension is missing "harfbuzz".
