[SOLVED] Flatpak package missing libxcrypt-compat dependency

Hello,

I recently decided to try using flatpak and discovered that the /usr/bin/flatpak binary depends on libcrypt.so.1 and predictably does not work without it.
That library is currently provided by the libxcrypt-compat package, but the flatpak package does not depend on it.

I believe this is a bug, but correct me if I'm wrong. Don't have a gitlab account, so posting here.

/usr/bin/flatpak binary depends on libcrypt.so.1

Not directly it doesn't. Use lddtree from the pax-utils package to see where the actual problem is.

I see, the issue was actually with libmalcontent and a recent update fixed it. Nevermind then :D
Thank you so much for replying and for suggesting lddtree, I'll definitely be using it from now on!
