Description

I upgraded to F43 using [DNF System Plugin](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/). After my previously installed flatpak will not run with the error:

bwrap: Can't mkdir parents for /home/${user}/.var/app/com.spotify.Client/config/user-dirs.dirs: No such file or directory

(I didn’t track what version of flatpak existed prior to the upgrade, but am now runnning 1.16.1 with Spotify 1.2.63.394.g126b0d89)

The 'config' directory exists and even after reinstalling as both system and user scopes, it will not run.

Research direction

Reproduce the launch failure after the Fedora 43 upgrade with Flatpak and Spotify 1.2.63.394.g126b0d89, starting from the bwrap error for /home/${user}/.var/app/com.spotify.Client/config/user-dirs.dirs. Check whether the existing config directory and reinstalling in either scope affect the result; done means Spotify starts successfully.
