Since I wrote this, it has been confirmed that under certain circumstances reexec will not work correctly. What is happening is that snapd on the system is 2.37.4-1+b1, and that version knows how to re-exec into the core snap. acestreamplayer uses 'base: core18' and while snapd will pull down core18, it will not re-exec into it. If you 'snap install core', you can workaround this issue (as you mentioned). snapd needs an update so that it can pull down what it needs to reexec (newer releases know about the 'snapd' snap and will pull that down instead). I discussed this just now with the snapd team and they plan to update snapd to have a newer version. -- Jamie Strandboge | http://www.canonical.com
