Cannot update flatpak packages
Hi, I am having this strange issue where the flatpak would say that it is updated successfully, but the packages remain in the list of available updates. The packages still works. And I have tried flatpak repair --user, to no success. This propably due to the fact that I have to restore my home folder from a backup, via Déjà Dup. And I assuming there is a conficting cache file some where?
First try a running the update with a verbose flag and see if there’s any errors flatpak update -v
If you don’t spot anything obvious, try a sudo flatpak repair and then reboot your system (or just restart flatpak-system-helper.service) and see if that fixes it.
As a last resort, you may need to uninstall all your apps using flatpak uninstall --all --delete-data
After that, you’ll have to clean clean up your ~/.var/apps, ~/.local/share/flatpak, and /var/lib/flatpak` directories. You could also try running Flatsweep.
The reinstall all your flatpak apps.
Yeah…
I tried flatpak update -v with no luck. sudo flatpak repair and then reboot does not work either. flatpak uninstall --all it is. Then, I just used Déjà Dup (flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.DejaDup) to restore the app configurations, that I had backup. Also. Thanks for recommending Flatsweep, that is the coolest thing I got out of all of this.ps://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.DejaDup) to restore the app configurations, that I had backup.
