Description popov895 2023-04-23 19:09:07 UTC
SUMMARY

After removing the flatpak package using the `apt purge flatpak` command, System Preferences crashes when trying to open the Flatpak Permissons KCM page. I assume this happens when trying to access something in the /var/lib/flatpak/, which is removed by the`apt purge`.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. remove the flatpak package using the `apt purge flatpak`
2. Open System Settings
3. Open Flatpak Permissons KCM page

Did you expect an application to keep working after you removed a library that it relied on?  FWIW if you were able to "purge" flatpak AND keep flatpak-kcm package in place, then it suggests a packaging issue, like missing dependency requirement in package meta-data.
Comment 2 popov895 2023-04-24 13:49:27 UTC
It makes sense to make the `flatpak-kcm` package dependent on the `flattpak` package. Is it possible?

Thank you for your bug report! 
However this bug report was created/provided previous to 01/01/2023 and also has not received any updates since  before 01/01/2025. 
Unfortunately KDE neon no longer provides updates for anything older than noble 24.04 based edition's.
Please upgrade to KDE neon noble and if you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
Thanks for understanding!
