Although I don’t have flatseal (and I don’t really need it). I searched for your error message and found several possible solutions. This seems the most likely to help: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/3585#issuecomment-621545087 : Looks like your repo config was somehow deleted. If you don't care about saving the apps in your user installation you can just do rm -rf ~/.local/share/flatpak. Otherwise you can do echo -e "[core]\nrepo_version=1\nmode=bare-user-only" > ~/.local/share/flatpak/repo/config but you'll also have to re-add any remotes you had configured (e.g. flathub). Note I have just updated the Installation section of https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Flatpak as I have discovered flatpak keeps both ‘user’ and ‘system’ remotes, so when you add flathub as a remote, you need to use the appropriate command to add a ‘user’ or ‘system’ remote depending on if you want to make gnucash a ‘user’ or ‘system’ app. User flatpak app’s can only be run by the user that installs it, while system app’s can be run by any user.
