It’s not even clear what the problem is.
Does it not install? Does it not show an icon but is installed? Does it open but can does not refresh the application list? Something else?
Why is there no bug report, no steps to reproduce, no clear description?
Sorry, I thought this (Chum repo not knowing about Sauna 4.6 release) was a known issue, and I just wanted to know if a fix was in sight?
Thanks. That’s a different issue from the one described in the original post (I assume).
Anyway, can you try setting the repository in the Chum-GUI Settings to either ‘4.6’ or ‘4.6.0.11’ (not 12!) please.
I don’t think there is any 4.6 yet. Only 4.5 works for me.
Thanks, I thought it was this issue because of E-PaiN’s message (Chum doesn't show after installation - #2 by E-PaiN)
4.6.0.11 doesn’t work (same error)
4.6 works and shows two updates, including one to Chum. Should I update to that one and then disable this override again? I don’t understand what is the normal process here?
I haven’t tried again recently, but for me it’s still not possible to install any version of Chum on 4.6.0.12 atm; so it’s not possible for me changing the repository in the GUI either.
Any workaround for this yet?
No because details are missing in order to understand what might be wrong.
You also did not file a bug report.
Can you describe what you did, and what the results are, and include error messages, console output etc?
Oh, and try chum-gui-installer from chum:testing (v0.6.4) before anything else?
Hopefully this can help, pardon my ignorance 
This is the output of me trying to install the 0.6.4 version I got from here, is that even the correct source / version?

Which seem to indicate it can’t find a (repository?) URL, and led me to believe that the whole Chum repo simply wasn’t ready for 4.6 yet.
But I might just have the wrong rpm version, of made a mistake at some point further in the past.
But hopefully this helps! 
I have this exact version installed and its icon is there (works on 4.6). Maybe try reinstalling
So I’ve had some time to waste tonight, and managed to fix the issue, luckily without reinstalling!
ssu lr
- sailfishos-chum ... https://repo.sailfishos.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum/4.6.0.12_aarch64/
That’s the wrong URL, should have been fixed to major.minor
So I’ve re-added the same repo with the correct URL manually:
ssu rr sailfishos-chum
ssu ar sailfishos-chum https://repo.sailfishos.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum/4.6_aarch64/
ssu updaterepos
pkcon refresh
ssu lr
- sailfishos-chum ... https://repo.sailfishos.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum/4.6_aarch64/
I could then install the sailfishos-chum-gui-installer-0.6.4-1.noarch.rpm without any issues, log is as follows:

So I’ve no idea why the installer didn’t update the outdated repository entry, but at least it’s a quick fix to do it manually! 
@E-PaiN, thank you for your research and testing.
Currently, neither do I!
Please try two things and copy the output here:
killall -w -TERM foo-w option please also execute:ls -l /usr/bin/killall
ssu rr sailfishos-chumrm -f /var/cache/ssu/features.inissu urssu ar sailfishos-chum 'https://repo.sailfishos.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum/%(releaseMajorMinor)_%(arch)/'ssu urssu lr | grep -F chum
Looks like that went fine!

Yes. Though it is a bit unfortunate that busybox’s killall does not support the -w option. At least you now have the sailfishos-chum ssu-repository set up how it should be (non-statically), see
grep -F chum /etc/ssu/ssu.ini
Hence I have even less of an idea, why the SailfishOS:Chum-GUI-Installer does not work as intended.
Please test again, now with SailfishOS:Chum-GUI-Installer-0.6.5-1:
pkcon remove sailfishos-chum-gui && pkcon install sailfishos-chum-gui-installer
If that still fails (which is likely, because v0.6.5 has only cosmetic changes compared to v0.6.4), please open a bug report at GitHub.
Please denote in addition to the required data in this bug report, if this works (i.e. produces the same resulting SSU repository configuration) as your last test #2 did:
ssu rr sailfishos-chum
rm -f /var/cache/ssu/features.ini
ssu ur
(source /etc/os-release; sailfish_version="$(echo "$VERSION_ID" | cut -s -f 1-3 -d '.' | tr -d '.')"; if echo "$sailfish_version" | grep -q '^[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]*$'; then if [ "$sailfish_version" -lt 460 ]; then ssu ar sailfishos-chum 'https://repo.sailfishos.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum/%(release)_%(arch)/'; else ssu ar sailfishos-chum 'https://repo.sailfishos.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum/%(releaseMajorMinor)_%(arch)/'; fi; else echo "Error: VERSION_ID=$VERSION_ID => sailfish_version=$sailfish_version"; fi; ssu ur)
grep -F chum /etc/ssu/ssu.ini
ssu lr | grep -F chum
Mind that the section in braces (i.e. ( )) is a single command line (better copy&paste that from a web-browser either on device or logged in via ssh rsp. slogin).
Thank you very much!
Edit: Sorry, the double %% were wrong (a copy&paste-error); I corrected them now to single percent-characters (%).
Just a heads-up: In the meantime I’ve updated to the 4.6.0.13 release earlier today, Chum GUI kept working without issues after the update.
Then I’ve followed these steps and some interesting stuff happened!
grep -F chum /etc/ssu/ssu.ini

Apologies if I’ve botched anything, I’ve tried the command with and without braces both times resulting in an identical repository URL.
At this point I tried to recover to get a working Chum GUI, so manually adding repository and installing RPM:
Apparently trying to manually re-add the repository and installing the latest RPM ( sailfishos-chum-gui-installer-0.6.5-1.noarch.rpm ) results in the same non-starting Chum GUI and removal of the added repository? 
Same behaviour on the sailfishos-chum-gui-installer-0.6.4-1.noarch.rpm
I fix the repository, successfully install the RPM, run Chum GUI (which won’t start), and the repo is gone again.
I’m at a bit of a loss atm, time for a good night sleep and retry tomorrow morning with 
update: Ahh just read your update, running the command now results in the right repository URL! 
Unfortunately the same Chum GUI behaviour, including removal of the repository afterwards 
Good, so sailfishos-chum-gui-installer-0.6.5-1 is working fine, AFAICS. Or does something contradict my impression?
This may a bug of sailfishos-chum-gui, please start it at the command line as regular user (i.e. nemo or defaultuser) and report the output and aforementioned behaviour in a proper bug report.
Yes, that is correct: Installing the sailfishos-chum-gui RPM triggers the removal of the sailfishos-chum-gui-installer RPM, which in turn removes the repository (from which it installed the SailfishOS:Chum GUI app) from SSU’s configuration, because the SailfishOS:Chum GUI app expects no such repository to be present on its first run.
Consequently a pkcon install sailfishos-chum-gui must fail with “Package not found”.
When you manually add the repository by ssu ar sailfishos-chum 'https://repo.sailfishos.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum/%(releaseMajorMinor)_%(arch)/' (on SailfishOS ≥ 4.6.0), you can directly install the SailfishOS:Chum GUI app by pkcon install sailfishos-chum-gui I.e. you do not need to take the detour via the SailfishOS:Chum GUI Installer, its job is to select and configure the correct repository for SSU, and then install the SailfishOS:Chum GUI app; all this in a fully automated manner.
Should I update to that one and then disable this override again? I don’t understand what is the normal process here?
Eventually Chum started working again on its own, so it appears like the normal process is just to wait a long time. It should not be neccessary to do any manual steps after updating to a new big Sailfish release.
Yes.
I don’t understand what is the normal process here?
For EA releases you may have to use the version override of the SailfishOS:ChumGUI app set to the latest non-EA release of SailfishOS, if you want to continue to use SailfishOS:Chum.
Or you just wait, until the new release has its corresponding backing repository at SailfishOS:Chum.
This is a case of RTFM, for details see there.
It is not, if you are patient and can live without using SailfishOS:Chum for a while. And all this is well documented behaviour. Mind that you are all using an EA release, which is for testing purposes only: This is what you were doing here.
Many thanks to all testers who report(ed) back constructively!
I am also on the EA release and just want to report that today the repository is finally up. The one app I use Chum for is still not up, but the repo is working as intended.
I knew what EA is and was patient. I made no changes to the application configuration and „the problem fixed itself”. Thank you for your work, Chum maintainers.
I’ve gotten around to making a bug report now, it’s my first one yet, so hopefully I didn´t screw up
Everything has automatically started working fine now, perhaps an automated update or something, but for me all issues are solved
