Fresh install of chromium-browser during installer-like process, in a chroot fails (when preparing machines prior to first boot)

[eoli3n]

Here is the first bug report : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1882232

It seems that there is a regression, pre-installation script of apt installed chromium-browser package doesn't detect that it is running in a chroot anymore.

That looks like a slightly different issue: the preinst script is detecting that snapd is usable by checking for the existence of /run/snapd.socket in the container/chroot. In your case it appears that the socket exists, meaning that snapd is installed and running. But it fails to contact the snap store. Does your container have access to internet? Can you check whether snapd actually works in that container setup (run e.g. `snap list`)?

This is not a container, this is the desktop installer iso system.
Yes, "snap list" returns something in the installer system but it is run in the chrooted env.
"chroot /target snap list" is working too. It should not, is it right ?

As said in the previous issue, i want those snap to be installed after the first boot.
I don't have any connectivity issue, the same ansible playbook installs many apt packages.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I confirm this bug. It happens using desktop installer iso system (I don't have any connectivity issue).
