Trouble with Bazaar

Since the previous flatpak-store (I already forgot it’s name, what a terrible memory I have!) disappeared and is replaced by Bazaar, I encounter trouble downloading new applications and updating existing ones. Also removing applications is sometimes a problem.

The trouble is always Bazaar seems to do what I ask, but gets stuck.

What can I check?

This is what happens when using the update button: https://sync.han-pilate.be/s/5ETFfAPZzJFb5mK

That looks like a really really old version of Bazaar.

Depending what you are running (bazzite, aurora, bluefin) update your image or flatpaks

I found the problem!

I had to give Bazaar more permissions with Flatseal, to access all files.

I don’t know, it’s just for a few weeks that Bazaar appeared on my system replacing the previous application that handled installations (was it called “Software” I don’t know). I try to restart my computer at least once in two days, so I guess it should be up to date?

Still didn’t get what are you using.

rpm-ostree status

Also please provide info about Bazaar flatpak:
flatpak info io.github.kolunmi.Bazaar


Try to manually update both system and flatpak with:

ujust update

I have to admit that I don’t understand why you have to give Bazaar more permissions to access all files. Which permissions did you add?

My understanding is that basically Bazaar needs access to /var/lib/flatpak and if I look here at my Aurora system I see that Bazaar has

which looks ok to me.

Well, appearantly it needed more permissions, because it wouldn’t update, delete or add applications and now I added a few permissions, it does.

Probably I activated too many, but it works, so I leave it like this.

The result is this:

flatpak info io.github.kolunmi.Bazaar

But I saw Bazaar itself was also updated once I allowed it more permissions, so this is after the problem began.

Hm, strange. Bazaar is working ok for me without granting any additional permissions.

Dont know why you would need to enable those

Mine from stock installation (aurora)
