Can't bootstrap with lxd on Arch Linux (EndeavourOS)

This is fixed in Juju 2.9.16 candidate just published. See bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1945752

Basically, mongodb --version printed a groups warning along with the version number which confused juju verifying that the snap was installed.

Thanks @wallyworld, it almost fixed the issue …

Alternatively, use --keep-broken with your bootstrap command to achieve the same thing. The container will hang about for you to poke at.

… but I found I needed to use this --keep-broken option along with the 2.9.16 candidate to get things working.

After another failure with the same issues after refreshing the juju snap to the candidate version, I rebooted the machine just to make sure all was squeaky clean, and then ran a bootstrap of a “dev” controller with --keep-broken so that I could have a poke around when it failed.

However, it didn’t fail, and I was then able to deploy juju-hello and check it worked etc.

I then re-tested by bootstrapping another “test” controller without the --keep-broken option, twice, both times it failed.

I then ran a final bootstrap for the “test” controller with --keep-broken again, and that worked:

I at least now have a workaround and can use Juju on EndeavourOS, thanks for your help @wallyworld and @manadart.

If you need any more info or want me to try anything for you, fire away!
