Bug Description
Building the teleconsole snap, which is a pre-built binary for amd64 and armhf, I discovered that --target-arch=armhf doesn't work when the snap is a classic. I presume snapcraft is doing some cross-build environment setup and as a result core isn't installed.
"classic confinement requires the core snap to be installed. Install it by running `snap install core`."
A workaround I used was to fudge prime/meta/
$ mksquashfs ./prime teleconsole_

To post a comment you must log in.
given that --target-arch is plugin specific (like the documentation explicitly says) and we only have exactly one plugin supporting this (kernel), i'd say this is no surprise ...
to make this work generally you would have to fix debian to actually support cross compilation in deb packages (which is far from ready)
