Snapcraft is failing with “IndentationError: expected an indented block”

[Antenore Gatta]

Since a couple of days, without any (I hope so!) modifications on our side, the snapcraft build of Remmina is failing, and I don’t know how to debug this issue.

Here the error:

$ snapcraft --destructive-mode

Can I please have some help to debug this?

The url of the snapcraft.yaml...

What build system is this?

[Antenore Gatta (antenore)]

Gitlab-ci Sergio.

[Antenore Gatta (antenore)]

Sergio, gitlab-ci, do you need specific details? What exactly?

[Ken VanDine (ken-vandine)]

I've been seeing the same failure in GNOME's gitlab as well. These are using the gnome-3-28-1804 docker image, which was built last week pulling snapcraft from candidate.

[Antenore Gatta (antenore)]

The problem has been fixed, thanks Ken.

[Sergio Schvezov (sergiusens)]

This is not realy fixed released, this was not a snapcraft problem to begin with so I will mark it appropriately
