But aren't snaps running inside chroots? Why does "/etc" refer to the system /etc instead of the /etc inside the snap chroot? Am I understanding correctly that snaps bindmount the system /etc into the snap chroot and then don't provide any permission to read anything in there? I think it would be nice if "/etc" was just inside my snap chroot and my snap thus had total ownership of the entire dir. > If you want to change some env vars, you can create a shell wrapper that > you point your snap into.

Yeah this seems like a more reasonable approach, thanks. -- robru -- Snapcraft mailing list Snapcraft@lists.snapcraft.io Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/snapcraft
