Bug Description

This is a request to SRU the latest release of flatpak into focal.

[Impact]

New upstream release of flatpak, which brings fixes and improvements.

Focal is currently at 1.6.3, whereas 1.6.5 is available upstream.

[Test Case]

The bugs being resolved are not simple to reproduce, see the test plan below for testing flatpak itself.

[Regression Potential]

Flatpak has a test suite, which is run on build across all architectures and passes.

There is also a manual test plan https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Process/Merges/TestPlan/flatpak. I have confirmed that 1.6.5 passes with this test plan on focal.

Flatpak has autopkgtests enabled http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/f/flatpak which is passing on focal.

Regression potential is low, and upstream is very responsive to any issues raised.

Hello Andrew, or anyone else affected,

Accepted flatpak into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flatpak/1.6.5-0ubuntu0.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Awesome, thanks !

I have run the flatpak test plan on a Focal VM, which passed all tests successfully - I have noted the version of flatpak used below. Autopkgtest's are also passing. Therefore I am marking this as verification-done-focal.

This bug was fixed in the package flatpak - 1.6.5-0ubuntu0.1

---------------
flatpak (1.6.5-0ubuntu0.1) focal; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release 1.6.5 (LP: #1884594)
    - Backports some of the OCI authenticator fixes from the 1.7 series
    - Fix a use-after free in libflatpak
    - Don't list p2p downgrades in list of available updates
    - Install gdm env.d fragment, but only as an example file.
      It is harmful on systems where environment.d(5) works (in particular
      systems using systemd), because it overwrites additions to the
      XDG_DATA_DIRS coming from other app frameworks like Snap.
      However, using either this fragment or manual configuration might
      be necessary on non-systemd systems. See
      /usr/share/doc/flatpak/README.Debian for more details. (LP: #1801814)
