Currently this error is happening on the eos3.9 dev branch of Endless
OS:
Nov 19 12:05:55 endless eos-updater-flatpak-installer[464]:
eos-updater-flatpak-installer: Couldn’t apply some flatpak update
actions for this boot: Error opening directory
'/root/.local/share/flatpak/app': Permission denied
The reason is that we have a check in flatpak_dir_list_unused_refs() to
check if the per-user installation exists and only try to list the refs
there if so, but the existence check falsely succeeds due to the systemd
sandboxing on eos-updater-flatpak-installer.service, and
flatpak_dir_list_refs() then fails in find_used_refs(). Specifically the
ProtectHome=yes systemd service option makes /root inaccessible, and due
to a bug in GLib[1] this makes g_file_query_exists() falsely return TRUE
for any paths under /root.
So, check for not found and permission denied errors rather than doing
an existence check, as we should be doing anyway to avoid a
time-of-check/time-of-use race, as explained in the
g_file_query_exists() documentation.

This is reported when we reported an error to the user via
::operation-error signal and the app told us to not continue.
If this happens in some weird case and we see the results its nice
to have access to the original error message.
There was a bug in the extension point matcher which made it
install `org.gnome.Totem.Videosite.YouTubeDl.Sources` (in addition to
`org.gnome.Totem.Videosite.YouTubeDl`) for the `org.gnome.Totem.Videosite`
extension.
We just need to make sure we only match the extension prefix if there
is a single element in the extension name following the extension
name (i.e. '.YouTubeDl', not '.YouTubeDl.Sources').
This fixes https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/3973
After the --redirect-url= test is finished it leaves the remote with a
different url, which is confusing the other tests.
In particular, at some point we remove the remote and add it back,
which gets us back to the old url, but at that point the summary (from
the newer url) has a later mtime than the old one so the old one keeps
getting used.
So, we unset the redirect and set back the old url. Also, the following test
had to be tweaked for this change.
We enforce --no-update-summary when we create test apps and
runtimes, and then we ensure we always manually call update_repo
after all modifications are done.
This means we save work avoiding summary updates, but it also means we
can do special handling in update_summary and guarantee that this is
the only place this happens. For example, we want this to work around
the mtime handling of summary updates.
Building with Clang 11 shows a warning for the cast of the 'gpointer' to
'FlatpakFilesystemMode'.
This is due to '-Wpointer-to-int-cast' being now enabled by default.

We remember what action we took for EOLs, and for sub-refs (ie .Locale)
we reuse that.
Also, we show if eol:ed refs are pinned (as that makes them not be
auto-uninstalled), and we list the apps that use the eol:ed runtime
ref.
Example run:
```
Looking for updates…
Info: (pinned) org.gnome.Sdk.Compat.i386 is end-of-life, with reason:
The GNOME 3.34 runtime is no longer supported as of 14th August 2020. Please ask your application developer to migrate to a supported platform.
Info: org.gnome.Platform is end-of-life, with reason:
The GNOME 3.32 runtime is no longer supported as of 11th March 2020. Please ask your application developer to migrate to a supported platform.
Applications using this runtime:
org.gnome.HexGL
```
The subset column is typically short, while for eol options the
options column can be very long. So, it makes more sense to have the
options at the end.
In the main summaries we drop all the subset appstream branches.
In the subset summaries we use the relevant appstream branch and drop
the normal ones.
We also leave out the old compat branch completely from the subset
summaries because it will just be used for newer flatpaks that support
the new format.
Currently if an app has been renamed and you run "flatpak update" you
will be prompted to decide whether to install the new name of the app
(and uninstall the existing one). However, in such a situation
flatpak_installation_list_installed_refs_for_update() does not return
the app, and therefore gnome-software doesn't see any updates available
(except in the case where the installed commit is older than the commit
with the eol-rebase metadata).
So include end-of-life-rebased apps in the returned list. Patches to
make gnome-software update such apps properly are forthcoming.
I checked that the included unit test only passes with this patch to
libflatpak.
