If this is x86_64, everything is aligned with the world, syscall 92 is 
chown. A useful tool here can help you out, and luckily there is one, 
run `snap install snappy-debug` and it will do some nice things to 
figure out what is going on wth these apparmor and seccomp blockers.

It seems to be just a dub problem.

If this is the problem and you can patch the software then removing the 
chown could work, I am CCing Jamie for other ideas that could come up.
