Very unusual flatpak issue

Hello, I have a Flatpak update issue and have been searching for a solution for over a week and find very little on it. I get the following when I run flatpak update:

stevesveryown@pop-os:~$ flatpak update Looking for updates… ** flatpak:ERROR:common/flatpak-variant-impl-private.h:486:var_metadata_entry_get_key: assertion failed: (base[end-1] == 0) Bail out! flatpak:ERROR:common/flatpak-variant-impl-private.h:486:var_metadata_entry_get_key: assertion failed: (base[end-1] == 0) Aborted (core dumped)

I have tried the following commands (not in this particular order):

flatpak repair --user flatpak repair --reinstall sudo mv /var/lib/flatpak /var/lib/flatpak.bak sudo flatpak repair --system flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo rm -r ~/.cache/flatpak

I researched on the Pop redit but these commands did nothing. Suggestion? Thanks for any help given.

Might be interesting, which version of flatpak your running and maybe which remotes you have configured.

I’m on Pop 22.04 and the flat version is 1.14.6. Flathub is the remote.
