using executable from core snap fails sanity check
Metadata
Current evaluation
App commands provided by the core/base snap fail the sanity check because snapcraft validates them against the host; unlabelled, no maintainer response in ~8.6 years, needs triage against current code.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue is a plausible, well-argued build blocker with a concrete reproducer (the reporter links a snapcraft.yaml using 'ping' from core and states the workaround: 'install desired executable on building host'), but it carries no labels, zero comments, and no maintainer response, so it has never been triaged. My repository tooling failed for this project (grep/git_log_search returned "No pinned SHA available for project 'charmcraft'" and read_file failed with git exit status 128), so I could not confirm whether the host-based command validation still exists in the current snapcraft codebase, and the ~8.6-year age with a total rewrite of the meta/apps and linters code means its present validity is genuinely unknown — not something I can mark resolved on age alone.

close stale | Snapcraft's sanity check fails when an application command references an executable provided by the core snap (e.g., ping). Workaround: install the binary on the build host. Unanswered since 2017. Old host-based check likely obsolete in modern snapcraft. | |
