I am trying to install the electron-mail flatpak, but am getting the following error.

I also get an error when installing from the Pop Shop installer image

Just executed flatpak install com.github.vladimiry.ElectronMail and it worked for me. So far what happened in your case looks like a glitch.

Changes complete.

Btw, the issue better to be placed in https://github.com/flathub/com.github.vladimiry.ElectronMail.

Thank you for checking this out @vladimiry For me the issue is still occurring. I restarted my laptop to see whether it makes a difference but to no avail. Do you have an idea where to look further?

I'll report flatpak issues in the right place next time.

vladimiry commented 3 years ago

I'm not sophisticated flatpak user but I would start from removing flatpak-related cache if I locate it on fs and would also remove the following packages (in your case those were installed but I was installing the app from scratch, ie including dependencies):

 1. [✓] org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default             20.08             u            flathub            68.1 MB / 95.9 MB
 2. [✓] org.freedesktop.Platform.Locale                 20.08             u            flathub             1.8 MB / 322.1 MB
 3. [✓] org.freedesktop.Platform.VAAPI.Intel            20.08             u            flathub             1.0 kB / 11.2 MB
 4. [✓] org.freedesktop.Platform

Ideally I'd remove everything flatpak related and then installed apps from scratch.

For me it's flatpak v1.10.0, not sure if version matters.

armaccloud commented 3 years ago

@vladimiry Thank you for taking the time for your explanation. I removed the flatpak cache, then I removed these packages, then removed flatpak completely and installing flatpak + electronmail again, it gives me the following.

I have also removed and installed other software applications with flatpak and experiencing no issues. So it seems somehow only occurring with flatpak.

Would be great to realize what the 2672e4f280382dd30c1326a235411093e155da9451660061409ee534f6ea2dcd and a132d552989b507eaa8d568cf8ff3722b4b0dfaec53ba04757b9e23c585f0edf commits are related to. It's still unclear to me.

If yo really want to use the app as a flatpack package, I believe you can use the https://github.com/flathub/com.github.vladimiry.ElectronMail repo:

Btw, those values look more like sha255 hashsums than git commits.

Thank you @vladimiry ! In the end I decided to install the snap version instead, since it was getting a bit too technical. I am assuming this was an issue specific to my setup.

vladimiry commented 3 years ago

Glad you found a suitable solution and thanks for placing thoroughly described issue.

I would have tried flatpak repair --user. It sounds like there may be a partially installed program. If you cancel a flatpak install during installation, sometimes it will give you the error you stated in your question.

Thank you for this insight @Vithos !
