Can't rebuild just subiquity

[Seth Fitzsimmons]

I can build a snap using `snapcraft snap`. However, when I want to rebuild the `subiquity` part after cleaning (`snapcraft clean subiquity`), I get the following error:

```

Do you have any idea what subiquity is doing to cause this? It could just as easily be a snapcraft bug as far as I can tell.

[Seth Fitzsimmons (mojodna)]

It seems to be the structure of snapcraft.yaml in subiquity that triggers it (though it might be a snapcraft bug). My suspicion is that the subiquity part has an implicit dependency on something (or an initialization step) provided by one of the other parts. This is my first exposure to snapcraft, so I'm afraid I'm not much use.

I must admit I always run "snapcraft clean; snapcraft snap" :(
