Bug Description

As seen in this Arch Linux AUR thread: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/#comment-714427

In some cases, the toolchain uses she-512 based build IDs, making snapd fail to identify snap-seccomp version. It is unclear why this happens. Maciej separately conveyed that a similar issue affected Alpine as well.
