I was just experimenting after poking at this bug http
s://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1847265, and I found some interesting behavior.
This is how to reproduce it:
1) Use the Cinnamon live CD
2) Install a random flatpak (note, since this is on live you have to deal with the space issue first)
sudo ostree --repo=/var/lib/flatpak/repo/ config set core.min-free-space-size 0MB
sudo flatpak install org.gnome.Mahjongg
3) Remove xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
In step 3 it will also want to remove flatpak, but in step 2 I made a conscious choice to install a flatpak - so this will then mean I lose access to that flatpak I had installed. This can of course be prevented by doing "dnf mark install flatpak", but that is another manual step you have to do.
This leads to the question: how can this be handled? When a user uses Flatpak to install a program, I would assume their expectation is that flatpak shouldn't be removed unless the user requests it explicitly (so not this behavior). I guess there are 2 ways to really fix this:
1) Mark flatpak as being user installed once at least one flatpak is installed.
2) Add flatpak as an explicit program on all live CDs it is included on right now.
The cleanest would probably be 1, but can that even be done?
