Org.freedesktop from flathub repo

[lattimro]

Since yesterday, I’ve been getting this, and I can’t even remove it. Has anybody experienced this?

It’s the foundation for flatpak packages.
If you don’t use flatpaks, you can safely remove flatpak support entirely.

Should you later decide that you want to use flatpak, it can always easily be installed again.

In this thread a day ago - and in more places - is discussed how to deal with this or remove it.

AFIK, I don’t have Flatbub repo enabled. Only AUR. That is the problem I can’t remove it.

[Nachlese]

But you could enable it.
The system is prepared for you to flick that switch.
And what you see there is the basis for that.
If you don’t want it, remove it.

Uninstall complete.

For reference, another option might have been to simply update it; once updated, you would not be bothered until the next time updated components were available:

flatpak update

@soundofthunder Thanks! I have an unsolved update with “org.freedesktop.Platform freedesktop-sdk-24.08.22” which I tried with updating using pamac-gui, after I did “flatpak update” in terminal is solved.
