snapcraft configure hook fails: segmentation fault
Metadata
Current evaluation
Snapcraft installation segfaults in the configure hook on an AWS aarch64 runner; the workflow is reproducible, but the requested hook-task logs are still missing.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The report provides an installation-blocking failure, the exact install command, Ubuntu 22.04.3 aarch64 environment, and a linked failed run. Maintainer @mr-cal requested `snap tasks --last=configure`, but no hook logs or further diagnosis followed, leaving the native arm64 root cause unresolved without positive evidence that the issue is obsolete or fixed.
