What are you reinstalling? New haos on old kvm? Old haos on new kvm? New deployment?

From the logs I read that your user chris has no rw perms within the haos.

I somehow missed this to be a flatpak via Discover. Granted this may not be usual in distros with a traditional update model, downgrading packages may be present in rolling distros, or distros with overlapping minor versions, or having 3rd party repos providing conflicting packages to those of the distro.

I offer my system as example:

The following product is going to be upgraded:
  openSUSE Tumbleweed  20240211-0 -> 20240313-0

The following 14 packages are going to be downgraded:
  ghc-binary ghc-containers ghc-deepseq ghc-directory ghc-exceptions ghc-mtl ghc-parsec ghc-pretty ghc-process ghc-stm ghc-template-haskell ghc-text ghc-time ghc-transformers

It is called “downgrading”, and it is not uncommon to have some packages downgrading when updating/upgrading a system, due to several reasons.
