[Pamac 9.0.0rc] Snap support - "Downloading/Installing" spam in Details

Info

  • OS: Manjaro
  • DE: Cinnamon
  • Branch: Unstable
  • Pamac version: 9.0.0rc (pamac-gtk 9.0.0rc-3) with Snap plugin (pamac-snap-plugin 9.0.0rc-3)

Issue

When I tried to install Krita with Snap, there was a lot of spam in Details, looping between "Downloading krita" and "Installing krita". See Details below.

Note that the installation of Krita with Snap actually succeeded, with some patience (considering that Snaps are quite heavy and that I do not have the fastest Internet connection in the world, I consider that normal) and while having a good laugh at seeing all that spam.

What I did before seeing the issue

  • I installed pamac-snap-plugin package, which installed snapd as a dependency;
  • I enabled snapd.socket with enable --now;
  • I rebooted my system entirely;
  • Once logged in, I installed Krita from Manjaro official repositories (for the sake of comparison);
  • Then I installed Krita with Snap.
