Issue body
snapcraft: 7.1.3
Ubuntu: 20.04
snapcraft.yaml
name: my-snap-name
base: core20
version: '0.1'
summary: Test
description: Test
grade: stable
confinement: strict
parts:
my-part:
plugin: nil
build-packages:
- dracut
- dracut-core
Snapcraft will try to install following packages:
binutils binutils-aarch64-linux-gnu binutils-common dmraid dracut dracut-core kpartx-boot libbinutils libctf-nobfd0 libctf0 libdmraid1.0.0.rc16 libdpkg-perl libfile-fcntllock-perl pkg-config
This leads to conflict:
he following packages have unmet dependencies:
kpartx-boot : Depends: initramfs-tools but it is not going to be installed
But apt-get install will try to install:
binutils binutils-aarch64-linux-gnu binutils-common dracut dracut-core libbinutils libctf-nobfd0 libctf0 libdpkg-perl libfile-fcntllock-perl pkg-config
Snapcraft seems to be adding dmraid and kpartx-boot which is causing the conflict.
Interestingly dropping dracut from build-packages does fix the problem.
