RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description M. Scherer 2017-08-24 12:05:44 UTC 
Description of problem:
I just installed the flatpak rpm, and it do not work right after installation

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ rpm -q flatpak
flatpak-0.8.7-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
each time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install flatpak
2. flatpak
3.

Actual results:

A error message:
$ flatpak                                              
flatpak: error while loading shared libraries: libostree-1.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Expected results:
A glorious usage message:

$ flatpak
Usage:
  flatpak [OPTION...] COMMAND

Builtin Commands:
 Manage installed apps and runtimes
  install             Install an application or runtime
  update              Update an installed application or runtime
  uninstall           Uninstall an installed application or runtime
  list                List installed apps and/or runtimes
  info                Show info for installed app or runtime



Additional info:

Seems this trick can be used to make it run:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libostree-flatpak-1.so.1.0.0 flatpak

Another trick is to install ostree, since that's what provides the missing file.

The problem is that flatpak provides the same file:

$ rpm -q --whatprovides  "libostree-1.so.1()(64bit)"
flatpak-0.8.7-1.el7.x86_64
ostree-2017.7-1.el7.x86_64

so yum likely decide to install just flatpak and not ostree.
