unable to run on centos 7 VM
Metadata
Current evaluation
snapcraft 4.6 fails on CentOS 7 VM due to missing C.UTF-8 locale, causing Click to abort with ASCII encoding error. No maintainer response in 5+ years; CentOS 7 is EOL and snapcraft 4.6 is long superseded.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue is 1979 days old with zero comments and no maintainer interaction. It targets snapcraft 4.6 on CentOS 7, both of which are long past EOL (CentOS 7 reached EOL in June 2024; snapcraft is now at 8.x). The underlying problem is a system locale configuration issue on the user's VM, not a snapcraft code defect, and the error message itself points to the fix (set a supported UTF-8 locale).
