libgcc_s.so.1 not found by app using ubuntu-app-platform content snap

[Olivier Tilloy]

I have updated the webbrowser-app snap to make use of the ubuntu-app-platform content snap (prior to this, it bundled all its dependencies, including Qt and oxide).

After connecting the "webbrowser-app:platform" plug to the "ubuntu-app-platform:platform" slot, the app launches and works well, but I’m seeing the following error message at application shutdown:

  libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work

I have ubuntu-core version 16.04.1 installed, and the lib is there: /snap/ubuntu-core/423/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1.

I’ve verified that reverting to the webbrowser-app snap that bundles all its deps makes the error go away, so I’m wondering whether that could be a limitation/issue with how content sharing is handled in snappy?

This'd require both https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu-app-platform/commit/?id=7df5c853701d0e386f7561c98facb6d07d6f487c and https://github.com/ubuntu/snapcraft-desktop-helpers/pull/40

The platform snap change is still only in the edge channel, but testable from there. The pull request comment indicates it could be fixed with a refactoring there, although not confirmed.

I confirm that the error message is no longer to be seen at shutdown, thanks!
