Public bug reported:
What Happens
============
* From Ubuntu 17.04 Alpha, install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak
gnome-software will now refuse to start.
* When I run it from the command line, I get this output:
I kill all running instances of gnome-software before starting it:
$ pkill gnome-software
$ gnome-software
06:15:12:0290 GLib-GObject cannot register existing type 'GsFlatpak'
06:15:12:0290 GLib g_once_init_leave: assertion 'result != 0' failed
06:15:12:0290 GLib-GObject g_object_new: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT
(object_type)' failed
I am unable to reproduce this crash on Debian. Installing gnome-
software-plugin-flatpak there works fine.
If we can't fix this, I believe we have no choice but to disable the
Flatpak plugin. Installing something from the Ubuntu archives can't be
allowed to break such a critical app.
Other things I've tried
=======================
- Rebasing the Ubuntu patches on top of 3.22.4 instead of 3.22.2
- Building the PackageKit plugin instead of Ubuntu's custom apt plugin
