** Summary changed: - Apport hook needs to detect if snap-mysql is installed and inform user + Apport hook needs to detect if a mysql snap is installed and inform user
** Description changed: As was seen in LP: #2089288, dmesg will show systemd logging about mounting a mysql snap. (This may be from https://snapcraft.io/mysql- workbench-community, which I'm gathering is a snap packaging of the deb package that MySQL upstream maintains at https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/.) This is an interesting situation because if the upstream deb was installed, we'd be able to ensure proper conflicts in the d/control to prevent co-installation and allow one to replace the other via pinning and so on, but AFAICT no such mechanisms are available to manage deb<->snap conflicts. - Instead, I think when the apport hook is run, it will need to - heuristically scan for the possible presence of a mysql snap (i.e. check - `snap list` and/or dmesg), and then display a UI dialog to the reporter - explaining that the bug is not reportable because they have the snap co- - installed. (It might be good to include some method to force the apport - bug report to be filed anyway.) + Instead, I think when the apport hook is run, it could scan for the + possible presence of a mysql snap (i.e. check `snap list` and/or dmesg), + and then display a UI dialog to the reporter explaining that the bug is + not reportable because they have the snap co-installed.
