Error while updating to latest

[t1u1]

flatpak version: 1.12.7

After downloading the update, flatpak gives this error:

Error: While pulling app/com.jetbrains.IntelliJ-IDEA-Community/x86_64/stable from remote flathub: URI

I'm getting an HTTP 404 from Flathub on updates. I'm able to install from scratch, but I can't update from a previous version :grimacing:

Installation complete.

I verified the downloads separately from JetBrains and they haven't changed, so I guess it must be an issue on the Flathub infrastructure.

I was getting both errors, sometimes 404, sometimes "exceed maximum size". Uninstalling (without deleting data) and reinstalling solved it for me too.

The URL seems to indicate it's a problem with the delta, apparently being too big. Strange, I'd assume if the delta is too big Flatpak should somehow fallback to just downloading the entire thing normally instead of a delta. Unless it's some sort of configuration issue, maybe you should report this upstream (to Flatpak itself)?

[t1u1]

Where does the maximum delta size of 2693773 come from? Is it specific to this flatpak or imposed on all flatpaks? I doubt it is imposed on all flatpaks because it seems very small (less than 3 MB).

Somebody faced a similar issue in a different package, and the linked issue is not accessible anymore: https://www.reddit.com/r/flatpak/comments/10cw5zf/flatpak_exceeded_maximum_size/

Have the same issue, i sometimes get different errors when updating via discovery, vs using the konsole. I submitted this error on flatpak mainstream https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/5648#issue-2069927053

Aborted due to failure (While pulling app/com.jetbrains.IntelliJ-IDEA-Community/x86_64/stable from remote flathub: URI https://dl.flathub.org/repo/deltas/hv/KajdCfFMGZEUBkZ2WtWKpO5Gs1UFe_09u7x5XM+vA-0_YJs8VP3PGCdjYnjk0ntr5eP9qCMCoQYZPFwPlmiNo/4 exceeded maximum size of 2693773 bytes)

And if use the console:
