I noticed that the service is up locally during the (non-finishing) configuration phase, and produces journal log entries as usual, I’m attaching the relevant lines here. The gist of it appears to be an ”Error: no hostname or hostnames provided in connection string” from programs/server/node_modules/fibers/future.js:280

I’m unable to reproduce this snap issue in a VM, but so far I’ve failed to pinpoint the curcial difference between the VM and my physical server.

I’ve tried purging and reinstalling snapd, disabling IPv6, turning off Apache and any other services that might be in the way, rebuilding the snap with my previous settings built in but none of it has made any difference.

@xet7 Unfortunately the install now also fails with the same configure hook issue as refresh did:

root@battra:~# snap remove wekan
wekan removed
root@battra:~# snap install wekan
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Run configure hook of "wekan" snap if present (run hook "configure": )

(For mongodump, I had to replace/upgrade the Xenial package with mongodb-org-tools from the main MongoDB site, because Xenial’s mongodump 2.6 failed with assertion: 17369 Backing up users and roles is only supported for clusters with auth schema versions 1 or 3, found: 5. With mongodump 3.6.2 I was able to dump the db successfully.)

I came across this old Wekan snap report about the same issue. I enabled snap debugging as mentioned there, and will attach the result of grep snapd from during the installation attempt here.

Should I open a new issue about this, to keep this report on topic?

@droidmonkey That page seems to have been deleted from the wiki, but I think I found the problem, sort of. I’m using the -proposed repository, where the current proposed snapd-xdg-open (2.28.5) is just a transitional package (pointing back to snapd), as they’ve integrated xdg-open into snapd itself.

If I downgrade snapd-xdg-open back to 0.0.0~16.04 from -updates (which also requires a downgrade of snapd back to 2.27.5), the Open URL function in KeepassXC does work (with the fresh 2.2.2 release at least).

So an upcoming change in these packages will break this, unless they do some more juggling before the packages move from -proposed to -updates.
