Bug Description
We got a report of a snap that's failing the unsquashfs test.
See https:/
I've traced this to some yet-unidentified difference between Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 and maybe their version of unsquashfs/
The timing of when the snap author reports their builds started failing, matches the time frame of the snap store servers being updated from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 (this happened on 2021-07-05 around 16:30 UTC).
So far this is the only snap we've had reports about.

Ubuntu 20.04 ships squashfs-tools 4.4 whereas on 18.04/16.04 we have 4.3 - I notice in https:/ /github. com/plougher/ squashfs- tools/blob/ master/ CHANGES# L9 that upstream says 4.4 introduces reproducible builds by default for mksquashfs so perhaps we should be using this in the review-tools snap and snapcraft instead so we can all align on the same version? Or since review-tools and snapcraft are both base: core18, can the store instead just use the review-tools snap directly?
