Can't register name for snap package
Metadata
Current evaluation
Name registration error printed an obsolete `register-name-dispute` URL (404) instead of the unified `register-name` page. Fixed by merged snapcraft PR #732 (commit fea4dfff4), removing the dispute logic from store registration.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: snapcraft PR #732 "Remove store dispute logic" was merged as commit fea4dfff4 and explicitly cites fixing LP #1613609. The reporter confirmed "Works for me" after the fix, and the stale `-dispute` URL logic is gone from snapcraft/store/client.py.
