I can confirm your issue with the Flatpak version of Geary from the fedora remote. Probably a sandboxing issue.

I have no such issues, as I am using the app from the flathub remote (same app version).

I confirm this issue exist, only on fedora flathub repo.

Can… Fedora just… stop doing that ? Why you doing that ? why you do special repo that provide broken package when there’s a global repo ? Why fedora ??

There are two separate questions here:

  • Why is Fedora providing a Flatpak remote?

The Flatpaks built by Fedora are maintained by the same teams/maintainers who are providing the RPM packages, AFAIK. This means that the level of trust one perceives when choosing the Fedora packages (and the OS as a whole) are basically the same when using Fedora Flatpaks. In this pursuit, Fedora also offers its own runtime (org.fedora.Platform).

Anyone can use other remotes (maily flathub), but has to do its homework about when to trust those Flatkaps, given that they are beyond Fedora’s control.

  • Why is the package provided by Fedora “broken”?

I don’t think this can be generalized. My main Fedora system is now on Silverblue, so most of my GUI packages are Flatpaks, with a mix of packages from fedora remote (all of the preinstalled ones and some more) and a few from flathub. I have issues with neither remotes.

Regarding the issue at hand with Geary, given that it can’t be replicated with the RPM version of the package, and based on the error message outputs, I assume it might have to do with sandboxing. As such, best way to get it fixed is to report it. However, I noticed that the OP already reported it :bluethumb: .

The fix for this is already in testing: FEDORA-FLATPAK-2024-ca717575f5 — enhancement update for flatpak-runtime and flatpak-sdk — Fedora Updates System
