I'm following this example: https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/build-apps/ros-snap/

The program works fine with roslaunch, and I'm able to create and install the snap. However, when running the snap I get this message. After the CTRL+C under the program just restarts and ends up in the same error. Restart - Error - Restart - Error and so on.

This is a known snapcraft bug which is due to a known snapd bug where locales are not available to snaps. That snapd bug has existed long enough it's probably time to work around it in that snapcraft example by setting the locale to C.UTF-8. I'll get on that.

UPDATE: Here's the temporary fix: https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft/pull/497

UPDATE: This fix is available in snapcraft now.
