the snap is completely unconfined/un-sandboxed (pretty much the
equivalent of an upstream binary tarball that installs into /opt, just
with the snap packaging advantages (rollback, snapshots, delta
upgrades, etc))

ogra@acheron:~$ snap info --verbose emacs | grep confinement
  confinement: classic
ogra@acheron:~$

Hello Russell,

Since I encountered the same issue with you a couple of months before, I 
think it might help you looking at 
https://launchpad.net/~kelleyk/+archive/ubuntu/emacs.


Best regards,

I'm getting a number of errors when installing emacs packages from the 
melpa/elpa library.  The elpa library is serving packages that are 
related to version 28.x of Emacs, but the Ubuntu 22.04 and 22.10 
packages are still at 27.1.


This is causing issues which is forcing me to recompile all of the 
emacs packages I download.


The simplest solution from my perspective would be to bump the Ubuntu 
emacs package to use version 28 (or add an optional version 28 
package).  As version 28 has been around for a year now, it should be 
stable.
