Dear Maintainer,


What led up to the situation?
I tried to install a snap on Debian 13, and snapd’s syscheck failed because a
test mount succeeded but the canary file couldn’t be read.

What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
I manually created and mounted a squashfs image, which worked fine, showing the
issue is specific to snapd’s internal mount test. I also verified AppArmor,
cgroups, and user namespace support, all of which appeared correct.

What was the outcome of this action?
Snapd reported no error on the mount, but the canary file was unreadable,
causing snap installations to fail.

What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected snapd’s syscheck to succeed, allowing snaps to install normally, as
manual squashfs mounts work without issue.


Output after the command "snap install hello-world":
error: system does not fully support snapd: squashfs mount returned no err but
canary file cannot be read
