snapcraft packages .so from /usr instead of from .deb
Metadata
Current evaluation
Snapcraft's prime step can replace a staged .deb library with a different host /usr .so; a maintainer reproduced the stage/prime mismatch, but no resolution is recorded.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: mterry explicitly reproduced the problem and reported that stage/ was correct while prime/ contained a different libalsa-util.so, confirming a real lifecycle bug. The issue remains open with no resolving PR or commit, so its age alone is not grounds for closure.

close stale | 2016-era report that snapcraft picked up .so files from the host /usr instead of from .deb packages, so snap contents depended on the host system. No maintainer response or labels. Likely obsolete since snapcraft now builds inside a confined core base. | |
