I created a Docker base image running Snappy Ubuntu Core 15.04 amd64 using the instructions here: https://askubuntu.com/a/577248/495667 (you can get my image from Dockerhub: https://hub.docker.com/r/mrjogo/snappy/). However, when I try to install a snap within the container, it does not copy over the files correctly (note I'm running as root):
# rsyslogd
# snappy install hello-world

Here is hardware that has been assigned to me ():
# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
# ls /bin | grep showdev

(side note: not sure why, but I have to start rsyslogd manually or I get logger errors)
Since I'm new to snappy I'm not sure if it's a function of how the container was created, how it's run, misunderstanding how snaps are installed, or a bug. I'd appreciate some guidance.
