This bug is to track the issue previously discussed on the forum at hhttps://forum.snapcraft.io/t/classic-snaps-not-working-on-fedora-27-and-others/2636 dating back to Oct 27th 2017.

"Back in April in the Call for testing: snapd 2.23 (https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/call-for-testing-snapd-2-23-on-fedora/127) on Fedora thread, @morphis mentioned that “classic snaps: Snaps using classic confinement are not working yet.”. Is there a plan for when this will work? I just tested a couple of snaps on Fedora 27 here and got execv failed: No such file or directory. We have a few high profile applications in the store which are classic and would be great to have working cross-distro."

In addition to Fedora, classic snaps do not work on Arch Linux (including Antergos and Manjaro)
