Bug Description

Failing to build snap, using snapd from edge channel

snap=lp.load('~canonical-foundations/+snap/pc-amd64-20')

snap.requestBuild(pocket='Security', archive=lp.load('~canonical-foundations/+archive/ubuntu/uc20-staging-ppa'), channels={'snapd':'edge', 'core20':'stable', 'snapcraft': 'stable'}, distro_arch_series='/ubuntu/focal/amd64')

Currently running attempt https://launchpad.net/~canonical-foundations/+snap/pc-amd64-20/+build/1169628

The build has

--channel core20=stable --channel snapcraft=stable --channel snapd=edge

Yet, I don't see snapd being installed/refreshed from edge.

Previous attempt was https://launchpad.net/~canonical-foundations/+snap/pc-amd64-20/+build/1162977

Unless the logs

core20 20 from Canonical* installed
2020-11-02T09:49:20Z INFO Waiting for automatic snapd restart...
snapcraft 4.3 from Canonical* installed

mean that new snapd is being used.

We don't support passing arbitrary snap names there, only core (and friends) and snapcraft. But snapd is core enough that we probably ought to support it too.

Cause i Was expecting something like this in the log

2020-11-02T09:59:31Z INFO Waiting for automatic snapd restart...
snapd (edge) 2.47.1+git1006.g2095741 from Canonical✓ refreshed

Aha, let me try specifying `build-snaps: [snapd/latest/edge]` then.

It is best if things like these are encoded in the snapcraft.yaml itself.

With build-snaps, the build worked fine!

snapd is not logged in, snap install commands will use sudo

I'm happy with that solution, and imho it's even better. I wonder if this should be downgraded to wishlist, if not wont-fix.

We don't use the wishlist importance for Launchpad bugs (https://dev.launchpad.net/BugTriage#Importance).

I'm happy to leave this open since it is arguably a bit surprising, but low importance seems fine.
