Re: Any way to restore or fast reinstall an installed flatpak?



Yeah, but you don't have to re-download them, just re-deploy them from
the local ostree repo.
So, something like
 flatpak install --reinstall --no-pull org.gnome.Platform//3.28 ...
should work.

And btw, thanks for your patience with this, clearly it is possible to
understand and fix this, even if its kind of low-level, but we really
should have some built in tool that combines all these fixes to just
auto-fix-up your repo.

After running this, runtime reinstall will fail:

So the file is still not recovered.

Hmm, this is the object that was corrupt and deleted above, so its not
unexpected that it is not ther. But I'm not sure why it was not pulled
when you reinstalled...

o> By the way, shall flatpak prevents apps from modifying files under /etc?

For technical reasons /etc is a tmpfs, so you can write to it but all
the files from the runtime that are in there are not writable.

Actually i know why this is happening. When we pull the new commit as
long as there is a commit or a directory locally available in the repo
it assumes all the objects it references are there.

Can you try to create an empty file called
~/.local/share/flatpak/repo/state/07b0e89b0f6c4f72bbeb101f89d5c16ffab2a1f3d2e317b5ecc2adf8ead585ba.commitpartial

And then:

flatpak --user install --reinstall flathub org.freedesktop.Sdk/x86_64/1.6
Yes. This fixed the broken repo. But after reinstalling org.freedesktop.Sdk,
But I have to also reinstall all other runtimes that based on
org.freedesktop.Platform.
Right?

Colin: Maybe we should add a flag to ostree pull that assumes all
commits are partial, for this kind of "repo repair" operations? I.e.
to repair a repo we could do ostree fsck --delete, and then re-pull
all refs with this flag.
