TypeError: load() missing 1 required positional argument: 'Loader'
Metadata
Current evaluation
Snapcraft 2.43.1 crashes during snap build with PyYAML TypeError (load() missing Loader) in internal/states/_state.py. No maintainer interaction for ~4.5 years; the affected code path no longer exists in the current codebase.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue targets snapcraft 2.43.1+18.4.1 on Ubuntu 18.04, a long-deprecated version, and the failing code path (snapcraft/internal/states/_state.py) no longer exists in the current codebase, which has a completely different structure (no internal/ directory). The PyYAML 5.1 Loader requirement has been addressed in all supported versions, and the issue has had zero comments or maintainer interaction for over 4 years.
