Description

  • What does this PR do? It stops qemu from using a bridge_helper executable from another snap revision
  • Why is this change needed? Because this crashes the instance process and potentially the daemon as well on updating revisions.

Related Issue(s)

Closes #4640

Testing

  • Unit tests

  • Manual testing steps:

    1. Install the multipass snap
    2. Launch a bridged instance
    3. Suspend the instance
    4. Update to this PR's snap
    5. The instance should start correctly, daemon should not crash

(Both in authd and non-authd installations)
