Public bug reported:
When installing a snap that has scripts that call sudo (in this case,
checkbox-snappy, available in the store on edge channel), any call to
sudo fails with "pkexec must be setuid root" when run on a classic 16.04
or 16.10 system. Calling the snap itself with sudo fixes the issue, but
for other reasons we would prefer to elevate to sudo only on scripts
where it is required.
snapd: 2.11+16.10
snap-confine: 1.0.38-3
Ubuntu 16.04 + 16.10
Expected results:
A snap installed with --devmode should be able to run sudo
Actual results:
Any call to sudo fails with the error "pkexec must be setuid root"
