Description Dario Faggioli 2020-08-28 17:06:56 UTC

xdg-desktop-portal does not have an explicit runtime dependency from the fusermount binary. But in case the program is really not present in the system, things don't work.

In fact, I can see a file open/save/etc dialog being open, and I can select a file or a directory, as a location, but then nothing works. A typical example is trying to save an attachment of an email, from the Evolution flatpak. In fact, one is able to choose where to save the file, but then when checking the filesystem, it is not there.

Launching the flatpak from a terminal showed an error related to the absence of the fusermount binary in the system (which unfortunately I can't paste as I didn't stashed it anywhere, and now I've got fusermount installed).

Comment 1 Dario Faggioli 2020-08-28 17:10:35 UTC

Speaking with a few people (on IRC, mostly) the impression was that the fuse and libfuse package split may not be optimal. And since xdg-desktop-portal does indeed depend on libfuse if, for instance, fusermount would be in (or the appropriate package dragged in by) libfuse, that would solve this issue.

Still, despite not being a packaging expert, I think that in this case an explicit dependency on the fusermount binary better capture the actual sicuation.

Hence I gave it a go and produced this: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/830324

Feedback more than welcome. :-)
