flatpak-repair - Man Page

flatpak repair [OPTION...]

Repair a flatpak installation by pruning and reinstalling invalid objects​. The repair command does all of the following:

• Scan all locally available refs, removing any that don't correspond to a deployed ref​.
• Verify each commit they point to, removing any invalid objects and noting any missing objects​.
• Remove any refs that had an invalid object, and any non-partial refs that had missing objects​.
• Prune all objects not referenced by a ref, which gets rid of any possibly invalid non-scanned objects​.
• Enumerate all deployed refs and re-install any that are not in the repo (or are partial for a non-subdir deploy)​.

Note that flatpak repair has to be run with root privileges to operate on the system installation​.

An alternative command for repairing OSTree repositories is ostree fsck​.
