Traceback when building the snapd snap with the LXD snap on a CentOS 8 VM. Snapcraft requires an Ubuntu host, so this is an unsupported platform. 5.4 years old, 0 comments, no maintainer interaction.

Suggested action: close not a bug

Reason: Snapcraft has never supported running on non-Ubuntu hosts, so a CentOS 8 VM is an unsupported (and now EOL) environment — the failure is expected behavior, not a bug. The report is 1972 days old with 0 comments, no maintainer response, and the pastebin traceback is no longer verifiable, making this a stale support question about an unsupported configuration.
