syscall error on i386 unless socketcall is allowed

[Sebastien Bacher]

Using snapd 2.0.9 on xenial on i386, snap commands hit a syscall error on i386 unless "socketcall" is allowed in the profile, that should perhaps be allowed by default as a workaround until the libseccomp issue is resolved?

This is merged and will be in 2.0.10.

Hello Sebastien, or anyone else affected,

Accepted snapd into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/2.0.10 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Is this still a problem? I'm not able to reproduce with 2.0.9 [1], also not seen with 2.0.10.

Thanks!

Federico-- it is going to depend on the snap and what it does.

I can confirm that 2.0.10 is correctly adding socketcall to the default policy.
