Snap package command not working

  • 772

I created a snap package sourced from my github repo named ubuntunews. It compiled without any errors and installed it without errors either. However when I type in the command ubuntunews to run it, it gives me an error bash: /usr/local/bin/ubuntunews: No such file or directory which is weird because the snap path is /snap/bin/ubuntunews. I think it's because I installed the ubuntunews as a regular package some time ago but I've uninstalled it now and removed the ubuntunews script from /usr/local/bin but the snap command still doesn't work and keeps on displaying the same error. How do I go around that, this is my first experience with building snap packages.

  1. @popey I did that and I was still getting the error. But I later found out that the issue was from the two conflicting paths for ubuntnews which are- /usr/local/bin/ubuntunews and /snap/bin/ubuntunews. To clear that I run source ~./bashrc so that I could only get /snap/bin/ubuntunews which is the path I actually wanted. But now I'm getting a new error /snap/ubuntunews/x1/usr/bin/python3: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.25' not found (required by /snap/ubuntunews/x1/usr/bin/python3)

  2. It works and builds for me, but you're missing some dependencies. Perhaps you're missing python-gi.

    alan@hal:~/tmp/ubuntunews⟫ snap install ubuntunews_1.0_amd64.snap --dangerous --devmode
ubuntunews 1.0 installed
alan@hal:~/tmp/ubuntunews⟫ snap run ubuntunews
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/snap/ubuntunews/x1/bin/ubuntunews", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('ubuntunews==1.0', 'console_scripts', 'ubuntunews')()
  File "/snap/ubuntunews/x1/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 572, in load_entry_point
    return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name)
  File "/snap/ubuntunews/x1/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2755, in load_entry_point
    return ep.load()
  File "/snap/ubuntunews/x1/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2408, in load
    return self.resolve()
  File "/snap/ubuntunews/x1/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2414, in resolve
    module = __import__(self.module_name, fromlist=['__name__'], level=0)
  File "/snap/ubuntunews/x1/lib/python3.5/site-packages/ubuntunews/__init__.py", line 2, in <module>
    from . import brain
  File "/snap/ubuntunews/x1/lib/python3.5/site-packages/ubuntunews/brain.py", line 12, in <module>
    import gi
ImportError: No module named 'gi'

    So I'd imagine you need at least:-

    stage-packages:
  - python3-gi
