Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Software Manager by opening successive Flatpak description pages and observing when the open-file error appears. Inspect the Flatpak description-page handling and resource lifecycle; done means repeated browsing no longer exhausts open files and Flatpak installation continues without restarting the application.

Description
Since upgrading from LM 22 to 22.1, when browsing through packages in Software Manager, after viewing a certain number of Flatpak package description pages, Software Manager starts putting up the following dialog after every Flatpak description page view:
An error occurred: While opening repository /var/lib/flatpak/repo: opening repo: openat(config): Too many open files
After it starts showing this dialog, I cannot install any Flatpak packages through Software Manager. It seems to reset itself after quitting Software Manager. After I've quit Software Manager and run it again, I can view Flatpak description pages again for a bit, until it hits that point again and starts showing the dialog.
