Can't build snap with act

[solsticedhiver]

I was able to test a workflow that was building a snap package. It's been some month the last time I used it.

But now, I am discovering, that it does not work anymore. It seems the snapd daemon is not running anymore in the ubuntu:act-latest runner image.

So when I run snapcraft with snappcore/action-build@v1 action builder, it fails because it can't use snap command, and can't talk to snapd. It does not work either, trying to install snapd manually.

I was about to use the full image ubuntu:full-latest, but aborted the download because it was so huge. I don't even know if snapd will be running inside it

I guess it was a well thought edit of the act runner image, and there will be no turning back?
Or it's me that is doing something wrong ?
