Public bug reported:
An annoyingly simple bug. Should be easy to reproduce.
I have my /tmp directory symlinked to a directory in my /home filesystem
(/home/foobar/.slash_tmp). Permissions/ownership are root:root and 777
and no other apps or packages misbehave.
Running a Snappy app fails immediately:
foobar@ubuntu~> ubuntu-calculator-app.calculator
unable to create tmpdir. errmsg: Permission denied
If I remove the symlink and create a "real" /tmp directory, everything
works as expected. The issue isn't with crossing filesystem boundaries,
as creating the symlink to another directory in the "slash" filesystem
produces the same result (e.g. "ln -s /test /tmp")
Let me know if I can provide any further information. This is really all
I have on this!
