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?
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 restartflatpak-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.
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.
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?

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
