I have a few applications that I've installed through Flatpak on Guix
System which used to work, but recently I've been unable to run them.
Trying to run them results in:

jfred@lambdacrypt ~$ flatpak run im.riot.Riot
bwrap: execvp xdg-dbus-proxy: No such file or directory
jfred@lambdacrypt ~$ flatpak run org.signal.Signal
bwrap: execvp xdg-dbus-proxy: No such file or directory

This is my current Guix revision, and I've just run `guix system
reconfigure` and updated my user packages:

jfred@lambdacrypt ~$ guix describe
Generation 25 Jun 03 2020 23:43:30 (current)
guix 4c8700f
branch: master
commit: 4c8700fd844d24f52c54966467765f14dca6510c

My current system config can be found here:

I had the same problem. I fixed it with
guix install xdg-dbus-proxy.

Best wishes,
Arne

Oh interesting, you're right! I would've expected this to be a hard
dependency of flatpak though, if flatpak apps require it.

Thanks for the tip though!
