.d77d6cf-0ubuntu2

---------------
gnome-software (3.20.1+git20161013.0.d77d6cf-0ubuntu2) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * debian/control{,.in}: Build-Depend on libsnapd-glib-dev, to successfully
    build the Snap plugin.
  * debian/rules: Pass --enable-snap, so that configure bails out if the Snap
    plugin won't be built.

urgency=medium

  * New upstream snapshot from the wip/ubuntu branch at
    git://git.gnome.org/gnome-software.
    - Use snapd-glib to perform snapd login. This fixes non-root access being
      removed in snapd. (LP: #1616943)

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Authentication using Ubuntu One credentials to install/remove snaps always  fails. This is due to a behaviour change in snapd (no longer accepts login requests from non-root users). Existing credentials continue to work.

  [Test Case]
  1. Delete any existing credentials by deleting passwords marked "com.ubuntu.UbuntuOne.GnomeSoftware" using Seahorse.
  2. Start GNOME Software
  3. Search for a snap (e.g. "moon-buggy")
  4. Install Snap
  5. Enter Ubuntu One credentials when prompted

  Observed result:
  Dialog says "Incorrect email or password".

  Expected result:
  Authentication completes and the snap is installed.

  [Regression Potential]
  The solution is to use a new D-Bus service (snapd-login-service) and new library (snapd-glib) to get the Macaroon from snapd. This has some risk of introducing new bugs. The change is minimised (other snapd code paths unchanged) and the alternative is login to be impossible.
