• Bug#1106091: xdg-desktop-portal: Crashes when a Flatpak app doesn't exp

    From Simon McVittie@21:1/5 to All on Mon May 19 17:40:01 2025
    Package: xdg-desktop-portal
    Version: 1.20.1+ds-2
    Severity: serious
    Justification: maintainer says so
    Tags: upstream

    The version of x-d-p in unstable crashes when contacted by a Flatpak app ${APP_ID} which does not export a .desktop file named files/share/applications/${APP_ID}.desktop.

    org.gnome.NautilusPreviewer on flathub (which I think is the same codebase
    as gnome-sushi.deb) is a convenient reproducer for this.

    The crash is fixed upstream in 1.20.2, but with only limited
    functionality for apps like org.gnome.NautilusPreviewer that previously triggered this crash. I'm talking to upstream about a better fix.
