Issue body

### Check existing issues - [x] I've verified that this bug isn't described by any existing issues. ### Bug description I'm attempting to build a snap based on core24 with the kde-neon-6 extension. It makes use of a bunch of library, but the one causing problems here is pugixml. I specify `libpugixml-dev` in the list of `build-packages`, however, a `snapcraft pack` fails with the error: ``` :: CMake Error at /snap/kde-qt6-core24-sdk/current/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/pugixml/pugixml-targets.cmake:111 (message): :: The imported target "pugixml::static" references the file :: "/snap/kde-qt6-core24-sdk/current/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpugixml.a" :: but this file does not exist. Possible reasons include: :: * The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location. :: * An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully. :: * The installation package was faulty and contained :: "/snap/kde-qt6-core24-sdk/current/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/pugixml/pugixml-targets.cmake" :: but not all the files it references. :: Call Stack (most recent call first): :: /snap/kde-qt6-core24-sdk/current/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/pugixml/pugixml-config.cmake:20 (include) :: CMakeLists.txt:228 (find_package) ``` When I run with the `--debug` flag and look around, I can find the `libpugixml.a` file in `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu` but not in the `/snap/...` directory. ### Steps to reproduce 1. Obtain snapcraft.yaml file 2. Run `snapcraft pack` ### Environment - Ubuntu 24.04 - LXD - Snapcraft not run in destructive mode ### snapcraft.yaml ```yaml # * Copyright 2024 Lukas Spies <Lukas@photoqt.org> # * SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later name: photoqt confinement: strict grade: stable base: core24 platforms: amd64: build-on: [amd64] build-for: [amd64] adopt-info: photoqt description: Fast and highly configurable image viewer with a simple and nice interface, supporting well over 100 file formats, including images, videos, and documents. summary: View and manage images, videos, and documents. contact: Lukas@photoqt.org issues: https://gitlab.com/lspies/photoqt/-/issues source-code: https://gitlab.com/lspies/photoqt website: https://photoqt.org donation: https://photoqt.org/donate apps: photoqt: extensions: - kde-neon-6 common-id: org.photoqt.PhotoQt desktop: usr/local/share/applications/org.photoqt.PhotoQt.desktop command: usr/local/bin/photoqt slots: - session-slot plugs: - home - removable-media - desktop - desktop-legacy - opengl - wayland - x11 - unity7 - audio-playback - network - network-bind - cups - session-plug environment: LD_LIBRARY_PATH: "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$SNAP/usr/lib/$CRAFT_ARCH_TRIPLET_BUILD_FOR/libproxy:/usr/lib" compression: lzo plugs: session-plug: interface: dbus bus: session name: org.photoqt.PhotoQt slots: session-slot: interface: dbus bus: session name: org.photoqt.PhotoQt parts: photoqt: plugin: cmake source: https://photoqt.org/downloads/source/photoqt-5.0-beta2-snap.tar.gz parse-info: - usr/local/share/metainfo/org.photoqt.PhotoQt.metainfo.xml override-build: | ln -sf /usr/include/GraphicsMagick/Magick++ /usr/include/Magick++ ln -sf /usr/include/GraphicsMagick/magick /usr/include/magick sed -i 's/VERSION 3.26/VERSION 3.22/g' $SNAPCRAFT_PART_SRC/CMakeLists.txt snapcraftctl build cmake-parameters: - -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release - -DWITH_IMAGEMAGICK=OFF - -DWITH_GRAPHICSMAGICK=ON - -DWITH_LIBRAW=ON - -DWITH_DEVIL=ON - -DWITH_FREEIMAGE=ON - -DWITH_POPPLER=OFF - -DWITH_QTPDF=ON - -DWITH_LIBARCHIVE=ON - -DWITH_VIDEO_QT=ON - -DWITH_VIDEO_MPV=ON - -DWITH_LIBVIPS=OFF - -DWITH_RESVG=OFF - -DWITH_EXIV2=ON - -DWITH_EXIV2_ENABLE_BMFF=ON - -DWITH_PUGIXML=ON - -DWITH_ZXING=ON - -DWITH_CHROMECAST=OFF - -DWITH_LOCATION=ON - -DWITH_LCMS2=ON - -DWITH_MOTIONPHOTO=ON - -DWITH_PHOTOSPHERE=ON - -DWITH_INCLUDED_EXTENSIONS=ON build-packages: - libexiv2-dev - libexpat1-dev - libheif-dev - libjpeg-dev - liblcms2-dev - libpng-dev - libtiff-dev - libxml2-dev - libraw-dev - libdevil-dev - libfreeimageplus-dev - libpugixml-dev - libarchive-dev - libzxing-dev - libmpv-dev - libgraphicsmagick++1-dev - libgraphicsmagick1-dev - libcups2-dev - libproxy1v5 - libyaml-cpp-dev stage-packages: - libheif1 - libjpeg8 - libjpeg-turbo8 - libx265-199 - libgif7 - kimageformat-plugins - libraw23t64 - ghostscript - libdevil1c2 - libfreeimage3 - libpugixml1v5 - libarchive13t64 - libzxing3 - libmpv2 - libjxr0t64 - libdjvulibre21 - libgraphicsmagick-q16-3t64 - libgraphicsmagick++-q16-12t64 - graphicsmagick - libcups2t64 - libyaml-cpp0.8 ``` ### Log output ```shell :: CMake Error at /snap/kde-qt6-core24-sdk/current/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/pugixml/pugixml-targets.cmake:111 (message): :: The imported target "pugixml::static" references the file :: :: "/snap/kde-qt6-core24-sdk/current/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpugixml.a" :: :: but this file does not exist.
