Additional Information

I am using Alpine Linux. Network is functional.

Are you using a proxy?

Are you able to curl https://dl.flathub.org/repo/config ?

[hfiguiere]

Maybe your ISP is blocking it. We have had report of this happening.

[VehementHam]

Are you using a proxy?

No.

Are you able to curl https://dl.flathub.org/repo/config ?

Yes.

[VehementHam]

Maybe your ISP is blocking it. We have had report of this happening.

No. Flathub has worked in tha past. I cannot see a possible insentive for blocking Flathub either.

[hfiguiere]

Thing is flatpak != flathub. (this is flatpak issue tracker) If any indication there is, it's a problem between your location and flathub.

It's not because it worked in the past that it works now.

[VehementHam]

flatpak update works on another machine.

[VehementHam]

The errors are inconsistant. Sometimes it starts to install, and other times, it immediately reports an error.

[VehementHam]

I get the same error on my other Alpine machine. Not on machines running other operating systems.

[AmrElsayyad]

Are there any updates on this issue?

[VehementHam]

Yes. I am still having the issue.
