Updating flatpak

Applications
1

As gnome-builder closes itself without any crash message, I found on web the suggestion to uninstall gnome-builder, updating flatpak and than to reinstall builder.
The problem is that when I give the command sudo flatpack update it return this:

sudo flatpak update
Looking for updates…

Nothing to do.

The above message indicates that the "flatpak update" command completed successfully ( meaning nothing to automatically update in your flatpak installation ).

Above info messages are informing you that you’re using old flatpak runtimes ( and old apps which use those old runtimes ). You can ignore the messages and use the old apps / runtime if you want ( not recommended though )

But, If you want to get rid of these messages, you can check to see if there are newer versions of those apps listed which use the newer runtimes, and update them accordingly.

Example:

You can fix the Wesnoth messages by removing app:

  • org.wesnoth.Wesnoth/x86_64/1.14 ( which depends on old runtime org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/20.08 )

and installing

  • org.wesnoth.Wesnoth/x86_64/stable ( which depends on a newer runtime org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/22.08 ).
