For the snap, this is because data_dir in distro_info is hardcoded to /usr/share/distro_info/ whichi corresponds to the version included in core18 not the version that ships with the snap itself.
Version 20200427 (1754) of core18 contains the right data file with information about groovy. distro-info could be updated to allow an override of data_dir instead of using a hard coded path. Meanwhile you can either wait until latest core18 is released to stable or upgrade core18 to latest/candidate. ** Changed in: ubuntu-qa-tools Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: ubuntu-qa-tools Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Project changed: ubuntu-qa-tools => distro-info (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - dl-ubuntu-test-iso in stable (rev 3) bustimicated + Cannot override data_dir [was: dl-ubuntu-test-iso in stable (rev 3) bustimicated] ** Description changed: - I can't seem to run this tool.. + in distro-info data_dir is hardcoded to /usr/share/distro-info and + cannot be relocated. + + == Original description == + I can't seem to run this tool. $ dl-ubuntu-test-iso --flavor=ubuntu --variant=desktop --arch=amd64 --release=focal --build=pending --isoroot=/storage/iso distro_info is bustimacated $ snap run dl-ubuntu-test-iso distro_info is bustimacated $ dl-ubuntu-test-iso --help distro_info is bustimacated ----------------------------------------------- $ snap list dl-ubuntu-test-iso Name Version Rev Tracking Publisher Notes dl-ubuntu-test-iso 20200425 3 latest/stable jibel - - - Maybe it's just user error and I need some direction in fixing up the command. + Maybe it's just user error and I need some direction in fixing up the + command. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875444 Title: Cannot override data_dir [was: dl-ubuntu-test-iso in stable (rev 3) bustimicated] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/distro-info/+bug/1875444/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
