fix flathub remote url in distro.yml #667

Open Psycojoker opened 4 months ago

Hello,

While following this documentation and running the command:

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

I ended up with the error:

Warning: Could not update extra metadata for 'flathub': GPG verification enabled, but no summary found (check that the configured URL in remote config is correct)

And failed to install any application with it.

Reading this issue: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/1967#issuecomment-413323832 turns out the .dl part of the url needs to be removed and it fixed my problems.

Kind regards,

Thanks for reporting the issue! This should ideally be resolved on the Flathub side. I may be wrong, but I thought that the dl. subdomain was preferred over just flathub.org because it was on a CDN. I am however not sure whether this still is the case.
