Package: libappstream-glib8 Version: 0.7.18-1 Severity: important Tags: fixed-upstream bullseye Control: forwarded -1 https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/5434 Control: affects -1 + flatpak Control: fixed -1 0.8.1-1
To reproduce: $ podman run --rm -it debian:bullseye-slim # apt update # apt install flatpak reportbug # flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo # flatpak search steamlink Expected result: something similar to the output on unstable: ``` Name Description Application ID Version Branch Remotes Steam… Stream games from another … …esoftware.SteamLink 1.2.0.241 stable flathub ``` (for more readable results use a wider terminal, but this truncated version is OK) Actual result: ``` root@c8b13fe6aeca:/# flatpak search steamlink F: Failed to parse /var/lib/flatpak/appstream/flathub/x86_64/active/appstream.xml.gz file: Error on line 1960 char 29: <p> already set ' Organic Maps is a free Android & iOS offline maps app for travelers, tourists, hikers, and cyclists.

Targeted fixes for the same upstream release have been proposed in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appstream-glib/+bug/2023215 and I'm now looking at an equivalent update for bullseye. Workaround: the version of flatpak in bullseye-backports and bookworm has switched from appstream-glib to libappstream, which does not have this problem, even in bullseye. I've confirmed that the bullseye-backports version ("apt install flatpak/bullseye-backports") works fine with these steps. smcv -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-9-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: unable to detect Versions of packages libappstream-glib8 depends on: ii libarchive13 3.4.3-2+deb11u1 ii libc6 2.31-13+deb11u6 ii libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 2.42.2+dfsg-1+deb11u1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.66.8-1 ii libsoup2.4-1 2.72.0-2 ii libstemmer0d 2.1.0-1 ii libuuid1 2.36.1-8+deb11u1 ii libyaml-0-2 0.2.2-1 libappstream-glib8 recommends no packages. libappstream-glib8 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
