Can't Upgrade From Version 1.93.1 to 1.94.0

[Krauzer94]

I'm using Arch Linux on KDE Plasma 6.2 and I get this error while trying to apply the update which Discover is asking me to perform, and the same error appears once I try to use the CLI to update the package, using the flatpak update -y command:

Error deploying: While trying to apply extra data: apply_extra script failed, exit status 256

I'm sseing the same error.

Same issue here. Try to install from the Steam Deck (it was working earlier today before the 1.94 version was pushed)

F: Calling system helper: Deploy

It's a bit weird Gnome Software doesn't show any error, it allows you to hit Install without any indication the app cannot be installed. Is this a known bug?

I also don't understand the push for 1.94, when 1.94.2 is already available. Why is the Flatpak-package every-time out-of-sync with the upstream branch?

same issue as above...

issuing ``$ flatpak remove --unused''

temporarily resolves issue

[francoism90]

@DINKIN That removes unused Flatpaks apps and runtimes.

It's not a fix for the problem.

I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling, but the issue is still here. I can't reinstall it because of this issue. :(

The test build with the fix is working fine.

This is also fixed by #545, because they switched back to xz compression due to microsoft/vscode#230418.

I have the same, I reported it for flatpak project but apparently I should do it here.
flatpak/flatpak#5961

Ended up simply migrating to VS Codium, works perfectly, only missing a couple of extensions, but fortunately not the ones I need working

[francoism90]

@Krauzer94 I'm using GitHub Copilot a lot, this doesn't work in VSCodium. :/
