Typst Snap package can't access local packages

[Unaimend]

Description

I tried installing the package [2] on my system via cloning the repo into the following path
~/.local/share/typst/packages/local/petri/0.1.0 by following the approach described in [3]
The typst compiler nonetheless gives the following error

error: package not found (searched for @local/petri:0.1.0)
  ┌─ ProjectPlan.typ:5:8
  │
5 │ #import "@local/petri:0.1.0": *
  │         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

System information can be found in the following screenshot

Some more things were tried below the following question on the discord but nothing worked

Thank you very much for typst and your help

As commented on Discord, this seems to be a problem with Typst's snap package, which currently seems to excessively restrict the directories Typst can access.

Any update on this, I am facing this issue and it is annoying.

PR #1 does unfortunately not work to resolve this. I have tried working on it but had no success. My post about it on the Snapcraft forum did not get any replies. Hence, until someone with more experience in this area chimes in, we are stuck with this behavior.

You will need to install Typst from another source (e.g. cargo binstall or the prebuilt binaries) to work around this issue.
