From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For some reason, when I enter the command given on https://flathub.org/apps/com.jagex.RuneScape, flatpak install flathub com.jagex.RuneScape, I get the error Error: Wrong size for extra data https://content.runescape.com/downloads/ubuntu/pool/non-free/r/runescape-launcher/runescape-launcher_2.2.11_amd64.deb error: Failed to install com.jagex.RuneScape: Wrong size for extra data https://content.runescape.com/downloads/ubuntu/pool/non-free/r/runescape-launcher/runescape-launcher_2.2.11_amd64.deb Here's a screenshot of the issue Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to fix it?

Same thing happening over here, im thinking probably whoever maintains the flatpak needs to update some stuff

Probably related to this last commit? https://github.com/flathub/com.jagex.RuneScape/commit/ff83d6c531d5f3ca827be85ace2d0090de365d87 Which seems to have changed the sizes and sha256 values

edit: Ok i think i figured it out looking at some issues on their github, basically whats happening is the .deb files get changed without a version increase, and because the flathub pulls from that it causes a mismatch in the files. I think the commit that i linked is there to fix it but might take some time for it to update on the flathub servers
