Mint-Y in Flatpak runtime does not update
ccprog opened this issue · 6 comments
No idea if this is the right place, but my impression is that this is not an issue with mint-update or flatpak itself. Nonetheless, possibly related: linuxmint/mintupdate#779
In Update Manager (mintUpdate 5.9.6), I get presented the following:
Confirming the update, I do not get asked about root rights, and after a short query period, the same entry is presented again, without any update happening.
Trying to update from the command line, I did this:

Try running flatpak repair and try again. This makes it sound as though there's something corrupt in your system flatpak installation.
The error message remains the same.
Since the report of flatpak repair is quite endless, I hope these few last lines give an impression.

Ah sorry, just found this: flatpak/flatpak#4116
Try sudo flatpak repair
I did run it with root privileges.
Looking more closely, at some point the complete Platform had disappeared. I did now re-install it with sudo flatpak install --system org.freedesktop.Platform. Most of it did work, but the core error message is the same as in all other steps:
Warning: Während des Holens von runtime/org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Mint-Y/x86_64/3.22

'013c8321e9949f63909b99d22484fa39a9405ee705649b7b23556595ccbfb42e'
This really looks as if a file object the process is looking for is missing on flathub.
You were right that somehow my installation was corrupt. But sudo flatpak repair was not enough to resolve the problem. I ended up completely uninstalling flatpak, removing /var/lib/flatpak and starting from scratch again.
For anyone else trying to do this: this also removes the flathub reference and GPG key signature, and it does not get restored when re-installing flatpak. I had to copy it from a timeshift backup.
Crazy I wonder how that happened..
Glad you got it fixed at least.
