snapcraft run asks for the sudo password without explaining why

[Leo Arias]

I find it bad when a command I execute as a normal user asks for my sudo password.
When we do this, we should add a message explaining why the password is needed. In this case, because ubuntu-device-flash requires it.

Maybe, it would also be nice to print a warning mentioning that the user should be sure that he obtained snapcraft from an official source.

For installing additional packages this is now the case. Are you still experiencing the problem?

[Leo Arias (elopio)]

Yes, this is still valid.

I get:

elopio@tangamandapio76:~/workspace/canonical/snapcraft/trunk/examples/godd$ ./../../bin/snapcraft run
