Cannot update flatpak packages

Hi,

I am having this strange issue where the flatpak would say that it is updated successfully, but the packages remain in the list of available updates.

The packages still works. And I have tried flatpak repair --user, to no success.

This propably due to the fact that I have to restore my home folder from a backup, via Déjà Dup. And I assuming there is a conficting cache file some where?

Is your disk ok? I have seem similar behavior on dying SSDs

It is ok. The corruption happened because I was trying to revert to a back up on mass (restoring my entire Home directory)

I don't see it in the post or comments, so rather than wishing you luck... Have you tried turning it off and then on again?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): piped.video/watch?v=nn2FB1P

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

First try a running the update with a verbose flag and see if there’s any errors flatpak update -v

If you don’t spot anything obvious, try a sudo flatpak repair and then reboot your system (or just restart flatpak-system-helper.service) and see if that fixes it.

As a last resort, you may need to uninstall all your apps using flatpak uninstall --all --delete-data

After that, you’ll have to clean clean up your ~/.var/apps, ~/.local/share/flatpak, and /var/lib/flatpak directories. You could also try running Flatsweep.

The reinstall all your flatpak apps.

Yeah…

I tried flatpak update -v with no luck. sudo flatpak repair and then reboot does not work either. flatpak uninstall --all it is. Then, I just used Déjà Dup to restore the app configurations, that I had backup.

Also. Thanks for recommending Flatsweep, that is the coolest thing I got out of all of this.

Idk bro gl tho 👍

Edit: Thought this would be helpful because it would help the post gain popularity through the algorithm guess I won’t do it anymore.

In retrospect I can imagine checking your inbox excitedly just to see this answer…

This is like those Amazon Answers where someone hasn’t even heard of the item but still responds to the question for some reason.

This is not something you should do on a forum like this

Have a look in /var/tmp. Seems to be where flatpak is storing the cache. If you feel brave enough, delete it and see what happens afterwards.
