Description Trent M 2022-03-01 21:22:24 UTC
SUMMARY
Sometimes when searching for an application and attempting to install it, it fails with a "No such ref: (app ref) in remote flathub" toast. If you restart Discover, it usually works on the second attempt.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Search for an application that is on Flathub
2. Attempt to install it

OBSERVED RESULT
Occasionally, an error toast will appear that will go away if you restart Discover and try again.

EXPECTED RESULT
It just installs the app. It found it in the search, how can it fail on installation?

This is generally a transient Flatpak bug. Have you seen it recently? Might have been fixed upstream.
