[SOLVED] configparser.InterpolationSyntaxError when launching flatpak steam
So i was trying to launch steam but it did not work so I ran flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam and found the error messages below. I tried looking through the python scripts but i am not a programmer and could not zero in on the issue. Could some body help me as to how to fix it.
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/app/bin/steam", line 8, in sys.exit(main()) ^^^^^^
File "/app/lib/python3.11/site-packages/steam_wrapper.py", line 466, in main current_info = read_flatpak_info(FLATPAK_INFO) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Nevemind I figured it out. Was trying to give a new drive read write access for backups and the error stemmed from the fact the name had a ℅ in it.
Edit - It was the path to the folder not the drive with had %
This is still a bug in the package, please report it.
Is it supposed to replace the
%with%%? Because that is what it seemed like it should do from the code.If this is the bug you are alluding to then i will report the bug or else please tell me what the bug you referring to so i can report the correct thing
The bug is that they parse a glib keyfile with configparser which is a different format. So what is valid in one isn’t in the other.
Thanks for the correction. I will report the bug
