Sorry for digging up this old thread, but as after upgrading QGIS, my
normal install on Linux Mint is (again) gone, so a I fell back on the
flatpak version which I installed recently to try.

Now I luckily found this thread dealing with missing python modules in
flatpak.
I tried to install "Distant measurement styles" via the Resource Sharing
plugin.

This did not work, cause "urlib3" is missing.

Could someone elaborate more on that python wheels stuff and where to
install what (exactly) to add missing python dependencies to the flatpak?
 From what I read, I only understood half and I would like to keep at
least one functional QGIS version.

Cheers,

Bernd
