SUMMARY

Parallel transactions (installations/updates) are likely confusing ostree and large Flatpak App and Runtime updates are failing with errors. Here an example where the Freedesktop SDK update:

Comment 1 Timothée Ravier 2023-04-18 15:37:03 UTC

Another way to trigger this failure is to run `flatpak update` while Discover is doing an update.

This error is all over the internet making us look bad: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22aborted+due+to+failure%22&t=ffab&ia=web. My wife hits is semi-regularly too.

I think we need to take greater pains to protect the user from this error, either by doing what we can on our side to fix it, or else at least wrapping it in more user-friendly padding like we do for packagekit update errors.
