Update fail to install

[Imauny]

In the App Center I clicked on an update and a few seconds later I get this error in the screenshot.

I also tried those options the dialog provided. They don't work.

I ran into this same issue, except the repair dialog was not there.

Then Refreshing I get an entry for system updates. Once those are installed and I have rebooted, I can repair the runtime updates, and all is well.

But this should not really happen in the first place.

Same for me. Error message:

Aborted due to failure (While pulling runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default/x86_64/22.08 from remote freedesktop: Validating dirtree 6e340b9cffb37a989ca544e6bb780a2c78901d3fb33738768511a30617afa01d (/files/etc/debuginfod/): Dir 0 in dirtree: Invalid NULL filename)

I also see this on a fresh install of elementary OS 7.

The same error also occurs if I attempt the update via the command line:

$ flatpak update

Updates complete.
error: There were one or more errors

And as @rasmus91 found, I had to use the Repair option from the update GUI in order to make the error go away.

It's busy working to repaire the runtime, you should wait for a while, maybe take a cup of tea

I have got the same issue... I've also done the command sudo flatpak repair flatpak repair, wait... nothing happens, decide to restart, and the song remains the same...
