Re: Ų Looking at the postinst, it doesn't seem this is actually that you need to execute any postinst in this specific case. The update-alternative calls here are just to make available a default "traceroute" binary pointing to your "usr/bin/traceroute.db" (same for manual page). You can expose it directly through apps to get the same result: apps: traceroute: command: $SNAP/usr/bin/traceroute.db If the issue is that other commands from this package are using "traceroute" internally, you can ship a symlink yourself that you ensure are in your $PATH snap. Yes I know I can do some special messing around to try and fix up the installation but I don’t think that is a good idea. How can I get the package to install fully and correctly inside the SNAP, i.e. properly execute the “postinst” commands. If I install the package outside the SNAP using ‘dpkg install’ or ‘apt-get install’ it properly installs on a UBUNTU system. What I’m looking for is the mechanism to get the package installed inside the SNAP. The current behavior just seems wrong to me. Are there any plans to fix it?
