I'm having an issue installing Runescape using Flatpak on Manjaro
For some reason, when I enter the command given on https://flathub.org/apps/com.jagex.RuneScape, flatpak install flathub com.jagex.RuneScape, I get the error Error: Wrong size for extra data https://content.runescape.com/downloads/ubuntu/pool/non-free/r/runescape-launcher/runescape-launcher_2.2.11_amd64.deb error: Failed to install com.jagex.RuneScape: Wrong size for extra data https://content.runescape.com/downloads/ubuntu/pool/non-free/r/runescape-launcher/runescape-launcher_2.2.11_amd64.deb
Here's a screenshot of the issue
Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to fix it?

Same thing happening over here, im thinking probably whoever maintains the flatpak needs to update some stuff
Probably related to this last commit? https://github.com/flathub/com.jagex.RuneScape/commit/ff83d6c531d5f3ca827be85ace2d0090de365d87 Which seems to have changed the sizes and sha256 values
edit: Ok i think i figured it out looking at some issues on their github, basically whats happening is the .deb files get changed without a version increase, and because the flathub pulls from that it causes a mismatch in the files. I think the commit that i linked is there to fix it but might take some time for it to update on the flathub servers
Unrelated to your question, but honestly is there any reason not to prefer RuneLite? It's objectively the better client, even if you turn on all the extras it gives you, with the enhanced GPU rendering.
