Skrooge Flatpak 2.6.1.20 database errors on Debian 13 (Trixie) - Cannot open/create files

Help
1

Skrooge launches via Flatpak but database functionality is broken. Cannot open existing .skg files or create new ones. Key errors:

text

[ERR-3]: No database defined
[ERR-5]: Document creation failed
[ERR-12]: Wrong password
[ERR-5]: Failed to open 'file.skg'
[ERR-10000]: Driver not loaded Driver not loaded

Root cause appears to be SKGSQLCIPHER driver failure (initial warning: QSqlDatabase: can not load requested driver 'SKGSQLCIPHER' despite being listed as available).

Steps to reproduce:

  1. flatpak install flathub org.kde.skrooge

  2. flatpak run org.kde.skrooge

  3. Try “New File” → [ERR-5]: Document creation failed

  4. Try opening existing .skg file → [ERR-5] + [ERR-10000]: Driver not loaded

Expected: Normal database file operations.

Actual: Complete database failure, app unusable for its core purpose.

Environment:

  • OS: Debian 13 (Trixie)

  • Flatpak: Latest system-wide installation

  • Skrooge: 2.6.1.20 (Flathub)

  • Session: X11

Additional notes:

  • Files tested in ~/Documents (host-fs access granted)

  • Clearing ~/.var/app/org.kde.skrooge/ config had no effect

  • Likely SKGSQLCIPHER driver sandboxing issue with KDE Platform 6.10 runtime

Impact: Skrooge completely unusable for database management.

This is occurring on Linux Mint 22.3

I set up a new computer and am still experiencing the issues. Have set up a VM. Same issues. Removed flatpak and installed from repository (deb). Installed 2.31.0. Clicking New does not allow me to create a new database. Cannot open existing database.

Hopefully this gets resolved soon. Flatpak version seems to have some issues. Distro repository (Linux Mint) seems to have problems as well.
