I have no Flatpaks installed in my system. Nothing! Nada! Zero! Zilch!
Package Manager keeps prompting with Flatpak updates at least once a week, sometimes twice a week. It is like a never-ending cycle. What’s up with that?
Today 2 Flatpak packages came up. They were
org.gnome.Platform
org.gnome.Platform.Locale
Does anybody have any idea how I can stop this nuisance?
Thank you!
Simply disable support for FlatPak and Snap in the pamac settings.
Further to the above, if you should decide to keep flatpak support enabled for any reason, the following will manage those updates without much pomp or ceremony;
flatpak update
Regards.
libpamac-flatpak-plugin and libpamac-snap-plugin are optional dependencies for pamac-gtk or pamac-gtk3 and can be removed
And then you can remove a couple of gigabytes leftovers.
flatpak uninstall --unused
rm -r /var/tmp/flatpak-cache-*
sudo pacman -R flatpak
You have - at some point - installed flatpak and an application.
Even if you removed the application - the base flatpak dependencies will still present and when you are using pamac, you will be prompted to update those.
To avoid this you need to cleanup all flatpak remnants or if you don’t care about cleanup - remove the flatpak plugin from pamac.
The latter will not cleanup the remnants but you won’t be reminded.
