Arch Linux User Repository

The python-pyelftools is required for snapcraft to work. Can you please add that to the dependency list?

python-pymacaroons-pynacl changed name to python-pymacaroons, please update the dependency list

As @zulu partly noted, this PKGBUILD miss the dependencies:

python-pysha3 python-click python-requests-unixsocket python-pyelftools python-pylxd python-ws4py

As an aside I spent an entire evening installing this and it's dependencies (from PKGBUILDs without a package helper!), some of which were flagged as out of date.

I could have saved myself a lot of time! After snap is installed you can now install snapcraft as a snap with

$ sudo snap install snapcraft --classic

You can also install lxd this way too.

Package fails to install with this error ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

Probably didn't update the signature.

I need to add missing python packages:

pyxdg pysha3 pylxd

to run snapcraft init on a terminal

Building natively won't possibly work properly on arch. I suggest using LXD by default.

python-progressbar(2) is now in [community]. Please test the new packages in [community] (still in testing):
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/python-utils/
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community-testing/any/python-progressbar/

Everything should be compatible:

The following packages are dependencies: extra/python-xdg community/python-libarchive-c aur/python-debian

Could you add them to the PKGBUILD? I wasnt able to run snapcraft without them.

Is there any documentation on use Snapcraft on Arch? I have it installed but I cannot get my snap package to build. I keep getting the errors:

Could not find a required package in 'build-packages': "The cache has no package named 'name-of-my-required-package'"
