From: Alexander Larsson Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2018 15:19:33 +0200 Subject: Don't write to parent repo In _try_clone_from_payload_link, don't try to do the clone in the parent repo, because we don't want to modify that. parent repos are typically used when you want a shared, immutable base. For example in flatpak, the parent repo is the system repo which you don't have write access to, so any modification to it will fail with EACCES, making it impossible to install via the system helper.
