race condition when running snapcraft

[Alfonso Sanchez-Beato]

There might be a race while installing snapcraft inside an lxd container:

$ snapcraft
Launching instance...
cannot snap-exec: cannot exec "/snap/snapcraft/x1/bin/python": no such file or directory
Failed to execute pack in instance.
Full execution log: '/home/abeato/.cache/snapcraft/log/snapcraft-20220818-141344.948836.log'

But running it again it was fine:

$ snapcraft
Launching instance...
Executed: skip pull base (already ran)
Executed: skip pull consoleconf-deb (already ran)
Executed: skip pull probert-deb (already ran)
Executed: update sources for bootstrap (source changed)
Executed: skip pull splash-theme (already ran)
Executed: skip overlay base (already ran)
Executed: skip overlay consoleconf-deb (already ran)
Executed: skip overlay probert-deb (already ran)
Executed: update overlay for bootstrap ('PULL' step changed)
Executed: skip overlay splash-theme (already ran)
...

I've attached the log output.

This looks more like a potential snapd issue considering that /snap/snapcraft/x1/bin/python is dereferenced from metadata in meta/snap.yaml
