[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#927907: flatpak directories are not in the search path set by the XDG_DATA_DIRS

[Ioan Eugen Stan]

Package: flatpak
Version: 1.2.4-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to `flatpak --user update` and I got this message.
I think flatpak should be added by default to the XDG_DATA_DIRS env.

I think flatpak is a very nice piece of technology.

```sh
▶ flatpak --user update

Note that the directories

'/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share'
'/home/ieugen/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share'

are not in the search path set by the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable, so
applications installed by Flatpak may not appear on your desktop until the
session is restarted.

Looking for updates…
Nothing to do.
```
My XDG_DATA_DIRS looks like this:
```
▶ env | grep XDG_DATA_DIRS
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share:/usr/share:/usr/local/share
```

I switched to Plasma under Wayland recently, don't know if it is important. I'm
running Debian Buster (mostly) with some third party packages and some from
sid.
