Hi!

I'm reporting this for flatpak even though point of failure and error
message refer to bubblewrap (here 0.4.1-3), but it's clearly more of a
flatpak (or flathub) issue. Some of their packages cannot be started
once /bin is a link to /usr/bin, as is by now the installation default I
think.

To give an example, let's say I'm pulling in the fish shell, single
partition scenario, then doing the obvious:

    flatpak run com.visualstudio.code.tool.fish

I'll just get an exec error for /bin/sh: no such file

There a good reasons for generally not using CLI apps via flatpak to
begin with, but that's not the point of this report of course.

Regards,
Oliver

Sorry, turns out flatpak fish is bound to the SDK runtime, which I didn't want
to install. There is no bug.
