F-droid app broke itself

[Gomma]

Hello

I have a new phone. I downloaded the fdroid apk yesterday and installed it. The client app worked fine initially, it updated repository and I installed two apps. I got a notification that there is an update for fdroid client and I installed the update.

At some point, I am not sure exactly where, the fdroid client app crashed. I think it was in connection to the client update.

Result: In the client app I see nothing. The “start page” is completely blank, “Manage installed apps” thinks I have no apps installed, but that is incorrect since I installed two apps and they work fine in themselves.

How do I fix this? “Clear cache” for the client app? Reinstall the client app? Something else?
Will it loose track of the two apps I installed before the crash?

Thank you for your help

Will it loose track of the two apps I installed before the crash?

No. You can try reinstalling it or clearing the cache until it works.

What is the recommended method of reinstalling the fdroid client app? Should I uninstall and then install the apk again?

Ok, I solved it. What I did:

• Clear cache, did not help.
• Uninstall & install again, after that it started working. I also had to do a “Delete app data” after the reinstallation.
