Error installing SmartGit

[Mihai-B]

Running command flatpak install flathub com.syntevo.SmartGit does not work anymore, I get a strange error: Error: Error deploying: While trying to apply extra data: apply_extra script failed, exit status 512

This happened since last update(when I got the same error). Is it something with my system or am I missing something?

[x80486]

I'm getting the same error message; I guess this should be something related with Flatpak, because the test build worked fine.

[Mihai-B]

Ok, I think I did update flatpak, but I am only having this problem with SmartGit package.

[x80486]

I get it, but there is almost nothing actionable on my end here.

Just curious: are you able to install the test build from the last (already closed) merge request?

[Mihai-B]

I didn't try it. But if you are getting the same error message, maybe you've allredy tried to install the test build?

[x80486]

I'm able to install it correctly, so I wonder if you had any problems with that one. In any case, that's what gets into master — and what makes the official build.

That's the main reason I don't fully understand how come it works in the branch (the test build), but then it doesn't for the official build, when the state of the system is unchanged.

[Mihai-B]

Once a new build is done on flutter hub, I will install it again. If I get the same error, then I will try and install the test build as you mentioned. Is this ok with you?

I'm also getting this error. I already have SmartGit installed and am trying to update it.

[x80486]

I'm going to trigger another (manual) build; I built this in my PC and it works fine: https://8n1.org/18231/15d6 ...will see if that fixes anything :man_shrugging:

This is how it happend to me, I unninstaled smartgit because I tought it is a problem with the update process, but then I could not install it anymore

I am having the same problem. I just tried installing it

[x80486]

I thought that was going to fix it. In the meantime, you can install the previous version. Have a look here: https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/tips-and-tricks.html

I am also getting this same error when trying to update.

[Aaron-von-Awesome]

I tried an uninstall then a reinstall (before finding this thread), and now I cannot install SmartGit :-( The "tips and tricks" above seems to only work if the app is already installed. I'm running Linux Mint 20.0.

I have tried to install a specific version with: flatpak --system install flathub com.syntevo.SmartGit//20.1.5 (https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/flatpak-command-reference.html?#flatpak-install), but to no avail. When I run that command, I'm getting the error: error: Nothing matches com.syntevo.SmartGit in remote flathub.

workaround anyone?

(I know I could just install the deb, but really want to give flatpak a shot)

[x80486]

@Aaron-von-Awesome, @JaneSmith, @Mihai-B, and @visor841...can you try this build?

Hi @x80486, there seems to be a delay between the remote-info log and the version installed from flathub/stable. The latest /stable still shows the error. Is this expected?

flatpak remote-info --log flathub com.syntevo.SmartGit

shows

[x80486]

9097c63e is the right one. That's the issue: it works fine when I do the merge request, but it throws that error message when in master (official build).

[visor841]

@x80486 The build you linked worked fine.

[Mihai-B]

I am not really sure why this was closed. The problem is still reproducing

[x80486]

Because the test build worked fine...

[Mershl]

Yesterdays stable update fixed the issue. The latest version from flathub/stable is installable.

[Mihai-B]

It is working now from flathub. looks good. Thank you for all the effort !
