flatpak-managed-install.service sometimes fails to start

[shyuen]

When I do a nixos-rebuild switch, it will occasionally fail to start the flatpak-managed-install.service.

I can run the rebuild switch command again and it will usually work the 2nd time so it's not a big issue, but I'm wondering if there's a way to avoid this occasional error.

Hi @shyuen ,

Thanks for reaching out. This issue looks like a duplicate of #45. Could have a look at the workarounds proposed in that thread, and eventually follow up to the discussion there?
