[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hey buddy, I tried running flatpak on a freshly installed Guix system (today) and for some reason it segfaults when I try to add the flathub repo. I was told to report the bug to you.

I've attached the command output, Flatpak version is 1.4.3.

It also complains about XDG_DATA_DIRS as you can see, but not sure yet if that affects usage or not. It's possible I installed it wrong, but was generally told that "guix install flatpak" is all that is need for it to work. I'd like flatpaks to be installed for all users on the system, but not yet sure if that's feasible.

Thank you!

I was able to recreate your segfault. Not helpful to the segfault part
but still useful information for you, I was able to run 'flatpak --user 
remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo'
and then 'flatpak search gimp' and other searches worked for me.

In any case, here's the strace output from 'strace -o flatpak.strace
flatpak remote-add ...'
