Package update notes

2.36

2.36 is the first release with AppArmor enabled by default on Arch.

If you do not have AppArmor enabled at boot there should be no functional changes visible.

If you wish to use snaps with Apparmor, first make sure that Apparmor is enabled during boot, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AppArmor for details. After upgrading the package, you need to do the following steps:

Reload the profiles: systemctl restart apparmor.service
Restart snapd: systemctl restart snapd.service
Load profiles for snaps: systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service

2.62

Since 2.62 snapd generated additional files describing the sandbox. The snapd service needs to be restarted after the update for snaps to continue working (unless the system is rebooted after the update, in which case no additional steps are needed). To restart, run systemctl restart snapd.service

2.70

Snapd 2.70 drops setuid permissions on /usr/lib/snapd/snap-confine in favor of explicit file capabilities. After an upgrade to 2.70, the users are prompted to restart the apparmor.service otherwise attempts to run snaps will error with cannot set capabilities message.

@camilojm patch is part of base-devel which is implicitly expected to be installed when building anything from AUR.

Sorry, this is the log

Starting prepare () ... -> applying 0001-fontconfig-compat.patch / tmp / trizen-camilo / snapd / PKGBUILD: line 49: patch: command not found ==> Error: An error occurred in prepare (). Abandoning ... :: Unable to build snapd-makepkg exited with code: 4 = >> Try again? [Y / N]:

@camilojm please provide a log.

Error makinkg snapd i have also LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 not sure if that is the problem, but i have LANG=en_US.UTF-8 and LANG=es_COL.UTF-8 ass support

@sxyzy1016 thanks, this is useful. I've pushed an update.

set LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 and run into Error making: snapd in check(); set LANG=en_US.UTF-8 and it works fine.

@sl13kp can you upload the log somewhere? it builds fine in the CI system and clean chroot here.

@WomboCombo pushed a fix, 2.44.3-2 sets GO111MODULES=off during the build.

Oh, pretty sure that should fix it too. Could have thought about that. Setting it in the PKGBUILD should ensure that it works for people that, for whatever reason, have a newer golang version installed. And it does no harm for people with an older version.
