Flatpak uninstall fails: assertion failed: (commit != NULL)

I installed PeaZip using Flatpak:

$ flatpak install flathub io.github.peazip.PeaZip
Looking for matches…
Remote ‘flathub’ found in multiple installations:

   1) system
   2) user

Which do you want to use (0 to abort)? [0-2]: 1
Skipping: io.github.peazip.PeaZip/x86_64/stable is already installed

Now, I can't uninstall it:

$ flatpak uninstall flathub io.github.peazip.PeaZip
Warning: flathub is not installed
**
flatpak:ERROR:common/flatpak-transaction.c:2971:mark_op_resolved: assertion failed: (commit != NULL)
Bail out! flatpak:ERROR:common/flatpak-transaction.c:2971:mark_op_resolved: assertion failed: (commit != NULL)
Abandon (core dumped)

I'm not familiar with Flatpak. Can anyone help?

I'm running Flatpak 1.10.2 on Ubuntu 21.10.

I can reproduce you issue while using Flatpak 1.10.2 from official Ubuntu 21.10 repository.

To remove this problematic PeaZip package you need to get newer FlatPak from official PPA using the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository -n ppa:flatpak/stable
sudo sed -i "s/impish/focal/g" /etc/apt/sources.list.d/flatpak-ubuntu-stable-impish.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

flatpak uninstall io.github.peazip.PeaZip

Note: uninstall command does not require flathub (remote) argument.

No better luck I'm afraid: ```~$ flatpak uninstall io.github.peazip.PeaZip ** flatpak:ERROR:common/flatpak-transaction.c:2971:mark_op_resolved: assertion failed: (commit != NULL) Bail out! flatpak:ERROR:common/flatpak-transaction.c:2971:mark_op_resolved: assertion failed: (commit != NULL) Abandon (core dumped)```

Sounds really strange. I would recommend running `sudo apt-get update` and `sudo apt-get install --reinstall flatpak` . Then retry.

Still doesn't work. I raised the issue on the package [GitHub repo](https://github.com/flathub/io.github.peazip.PeaZip).

See updated answer above. There is something wrong between Flatpak from official repository and PeaZip flatpak package. The problem is fixable by using newer Flatpak from PPA.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
