Agent socket can be read from the environment but access to it is currently denied by AppArmor. Both real ssh-agent socket and GNOME Keyring socket are blocked.

Suggestions:
* adjust program to use $SNAP_DATA
* adjust program to use run/shm/snap.$SNAP_NAME.*

There may be a flag for snapcraft.yaml that loosens the sandbox enough but I can't currently get a working build going of the snap on my system.

Indeed, that does not seem to work anymore even on 18.04, I get this warning during install:

Warning: flag --classic ignored for strictly confined snap keepassxc

However, the snap can be put into development mode which has the same effect:

sudo snap install --devmode keepassxc

You need to first remove the snap to be able to reinstall it. Tested the agent integration works on 18.04 again with that.

useful!
