Flatpak package doesn't start, missing libdbus-glib-1.so.2 #303

Closed ssusbauer closed 1 month ago

ssusbauer commented 1 month ago

Latest Betterbird fails to run, unable to find a shared library:

$ flatpak run eu.betterbird.Betterbird

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /app/lib/betterbird/libxul.so:
libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.

I am seeing this on the latest Betterbird from Flathub, with all of the platform updates. No permissions updated or removed from the manifest.

Discovered after updating the Flatpak on Linux Mint (Ubuntu 22.04-based), then reproduced in an update on LMDE6 (Debian 12-based) and again reproduced in a fresh install of Betterbird on Fedora 40.

eu.betterbird.Betterbird 115.11.0-bb28 org.freedesktop.Platform 23.08.18

Just after I posted this they downgraded the Platform version to 23.08.17, and Betterbird runs again. Looks like a broken update upstream that I happened to snag at the right moment.

Thanks for taking care of the issue yourself. In the future, please mention @mfschumann in tickets regarding FlatPak issues since he's the maintainer.
