[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#988117: flatpak: Some flatpaks unusable with /bin linked

[Oliver Schode]

Package: flatpak
Version: 1.10.2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Hi!

I'm reporting this for flatpak even though point of failure and error
message refer to bubblewrap (here 0.4.1-3), but it's clearly more of a
flatpak (or flathub) issue. Some of their packages cannot be started
once /bin is a link to /usr/bin, as is by now the installation default I
think.

To give an example, let's say I'm pulling in the fish shell, single
partition scenario, then doing the obvious:

    flatpak run com.visualstudio.code.tool.fish

I'll just get an exec error for /bin/sh: no such file

There a good reasons for generally not using CLI apps via flatpak to
begin with, but that's not the point of this report of course.

Regards,
Oliver
