I’ve been trying for several days to update Edge with COSMIC Atomic. Keep getting the error below. Its probably not a Fedora problem but rather a Flatpak problem. Nevertheless, can anyone hazard a guess as to why Edge wont update?
Sounds like this issue:
(found via the below:)
Thanks for sharing that. So it was a Microsoft probem. One of the posts references a mitigation to fix the problem, but it didn’t work on my system.
sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/microsoft-edge.repo > /dev/null <<'EOF'
[microsoft-edge]
name=microsoft-edge
baseurl=https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/edge/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc

Looks like Flathub has merged the PR to include the newly available .deb in the Flatpak.
But right now there isn’t a new build (at time of writing, it says “built 7 days ago”).
I guess it’s a matter of waiting but I don’t know how long it takes for Flathub to make the newly built version available.
So I guess the solution is be patient and keep checking periodically.

I’m on Fedora 43 and when I try “flatpak install com.microsoft.Edge” is seems to work (I didn’t follow through and install it since I don’t want to have it, but maybe you should retry
flatpak install com.microsoft.Edge
Looking for matches…
Remotes found with refs similar to ‘com.microsoft.Edge’:
1) ‘flathub’ (system)
2) ‘flathub’ (user)
Which do you want to use (0 to abort)? [0-2]:
I’ve got it installed. It just wont update when I run flatpak update.
Would you run these two commands:
flatpak info com.microsoft.Edge
flatpak search --columns=name,application,remotes,version com.microsoft.Edge
and post the results here (hiding the ‘description’ in the search using --columns since it’s so overly long)
Whatever the problem was got fixed on Flathub’s end. Edge updated properly today.
