debsums for snapd 2.61.2 failed

[Leo Lin]

Running the debsums over snapd:

    $ debsums snapd

will show the file io.snapcraft.Prompt.service missing:

    debsums: missing file /usr/share/dbus-1/services/io.snapcraft.Prompt.service (from snapd package)

The snapd versions:

    $ snap version
    snap 2.61.2
    snapd 2.61.2
    series 16
    ubuntu 22.04
    kernel 6.1.0-1035-oem

The file was removed in commit 1800201, which is included in the 2.61.2 release and shouldn't be included in debsums checks for later versions.

With the new version of snapd in proposed this issue is gone. Let's wait for the update.

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

TL;DR snap (2.58+) will automatically refresh every snap packages, so this leads to the debsums check in failure.

$ apt show snapd
Version 2.58+22.04.1

$ snap version
snap 2.61.2

With snapd 2.61.3 now in -update, this issue no longer appear.
