Comment 1 Justin Lex-Hammarskjöld 2019-07-23 21:41:16 UTC 
I'm having the same issue on Silverblue 30. Looking at the code, the post-install runs a helper program called "niReg" that tries to update some values in /var/lib/ni/modules.xml, but opening that file for writing fails on Silverblue. I don't really know enough about rpm-ostree to know why that fails, though.
Comment 2 Justin Lex-Hammarskjöld 2019-07-23 21:54:16 UTC 
I'm assuming that layered packages in rpm-ostree aren't allowed to touch /var. I think the solution would be to patch this line in the OpenNI source code, where the /var/lib/ni path is defined. https://github.com/OpenNI/OpenNI/blob/1e9524ffd759841789dadb4ca19fb5d4ac5820e7/Source/OpenNI/XnOpenNI.cpp#L7075
Comment 3 Ben Cotton 2019-10-31 19:02:45 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 29 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 29 on 2019-11-26.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '29'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 29 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
Comment 4 Ben Cotton 2019-11-27 23:02:50 UTC 
Fedora 29 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-11-26. Fedora 29 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
