Public bug reported:
I am currently following the tutorial at http://snapcraft.io/ and tried
to install my first snap (under current yakkety amd64):
$ sudo apt install -y snapd
$ sudo snap install hello-world
74.08 MB / 74.28 MB
[=================================================================>_] 99.73 %
2.12 MB/s
hello-world (stable) 6.3 from 'canonical' installed
$ LC_ALL=C /snap/bin/hello-world
mkdir: cannot create directory '/home/martin/snap/hello-world': Permission
denied
strace shows:
[pid 14728] chdir("martin") = 0
[pid 14728] mkdir("snap", 0777) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
[pid 14728] chdir("snap") = 0
[pid 14728] mkdir("hello-world", 0777) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
[pid 14728] chdir("hello-world") = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
Indeed I have an already existing root-owned ~/snap directory, as I was
asked a few days to install the ubuntu-device-flash beta snap. That
program needs to run as root and was the first-ever snap that I
installed.
I suggest to never create ~/snap with root privileges to avoid that, and
also to avoid breaking backups etc.
