Solved Issue with Flatpak update

[RazorEdge]

Hey all,

I was updating my Flatpaks and I'm having this issue with the GNOME runtime:

I did some research and it seems this is a known bug, but it's a little too technical for me to wrap my head around - https://github.com/wxFormBuilder/wxFormBuilder/issues/354

This is the output of my /var/lib/flatpak/repo/config file:

I tried changing gpg-verify=true and gpg-verify-summary=true to false, but that only changed the error to this:

I'm a bit stuck where to go next - I'm thinking I'd either completely uninstall all my Flatpaks (not my ideal solution), or figure out how to configure my system to accept the non-GPG verified update? Any help is appreciated, cheers

The operative word there would appear to 'untrusted' ....has it given any clue which flatpak/app is untrusted ?

eg....I get this:
E: The repository 'https://repository.mullvad.net/deb/stable virginia Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

mullvad still works quite well so I choose to ignore that error

Usually all flatpaks will update via the update manager.

I tried changing gpg-verify=true and gpg-verify-summary=true to false, but that only changed the error to this:

Make sure you have a Timeshift snapshot in place before making any changes.....

What happens if you run ......copy and paste the whole thing to terminal and hit enter, then your password

#!/bin/bash
sudo apt-get update
#sudo apt-get -y upgrade
sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get -y autoremove

Did you install a flatpak recently?...

 

[bob466]

I've just installed a heap of flatpaks but through the Update Manager...so there's never a problem.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
sudo apt-get update
#sudo apt-get -y upgrade
sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get -y autoremove

I tried this, no luck. I haven't installed any Flatpaks recently and all I have installed are Signal and Flatseal.

I get the same issue through the GUI software application. Any other ideas or will I just need to try a full re-install?

 

[Condobloke]

You installed both signal and flatseal from the repository ?

 

[RazorEdge]

Yeap, followed the Flathub setup instructions for Debian - https://flathub.org/setup/Debian

The the app install instructions on their respective pages:

Install Signal Desktop on Linux | Flathub

Private messenger

flathub.org

Install Flatseal on Linux | Flathub

Manage Flatpak permissions

flathub.org

I will ask another member here @GatorsFan to swing by and see if he can help

He will be notified of this thread.....no action required on your part

 

[GatorsFan]

Try running

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

What Debian desktop are you using?

Sorry for the late response - with no action on my part this sporadically resolved itself. Thanks for the help regardless
