Comment 4 for bug 1813634

We are facing the same issue and it's critical to have it fixed please. I don't wanna introduce fragile hacks into build and deployment pipeline to fix such issues.

Command: snapcraft --target-arch armhf

Output:
Setting target machine to 'armhf'
Sorry, an error occurred in Snapcraft:
