Hi,

who is building and providing the flathub/flatpak packages? I can’t update because of checksum mismatches.

```python
# sudo flatpak update
Looking for updates…

The package maintainers are listed in the Gramps Team at:

[https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Team#Package\_Maintainers](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Team#Package_Maintainers)

But a checksum mismatch is worriesome. Maybe the repository has a bad (or malignant) copy of the package?

I don’t know if @S.Mackay is aware of this yet.

It is an old flatpak bug that apparently happens when a file gets corrupted during download. Try  
`flatpak repair`  
From my google search of “Corrupted file object: checksum flatpak” it appears that sometimes the flatpak repair might work, but usually the corrupted flatpak has to be removed and reinstalled  
`flatpak remove org.gramps_project.Gramps`  
`flatpak install org.gramps_project.Gramps`

Flatpack repair did the job. The error is gone. I apparently caused this issue myself because I made a modification in one of thy Python files in the past. (I added baptism in the order of “next” events when adding a new event to a person because birth, death, burrial is missng baptism for my culture).

It never occured to me that _this_ could have been the issue after trying to understand the error message. It really read as a remote problem… sorry for the trouble.
