[GNC] New flatpak version 4.7+ crashes in my Ubuntu 20.04 - any help?

Tue Sep 28 17:05:20 EDT 2021

Les,

4.7 has only just been released so you were probably previously using 4.6
for some time as it was released in late June I think :-)  Yes the new
flatpak version has the problem you describe, a fixed version will be
released in the next day or so.  You can either just wait or revert to the
previous flatpak version if you need to use Gnucash in the next day or so -
details at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Flatpak which basically says the
following....

DowngradingIt can't be done from the average package manager, but it can be
done from the command line. It's a two-step command:

flatpak remote-info --log flathub org.gnucash.GnuCash # list all
commits in the repo
flatpak update --commit=HASH org.gnucash.GnuCash # checkout commit
HASH in the repo

Cheers David H.
