Comment 15 for bug 1620755

Thanks for this update Scott. First let me apologize that some things are misrepresented in this bugreport. We (the snapd team) understand the importance of adding custom certificates.

We implemented support for adding customs certificates to "snapd" itself in snapd 2.45, see https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/custom-ssl-certs-for-snapd-to-the-snap-store-communication/17446 for details how to enable this. I think the original bugreport here was about this feature.

There is the wider topic about supporting the host /etc/ssl certificates inside all snaps is discussed in https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/extending-system-certificates/114 - we want to fix this but a general fix is quite a bit of work. We are currently discussing a first step to support passing the /etc/ssl on Ubuntu systems to snaps.
