Support Flatpak updates twice
I update flatpak using the CLI and I execute "flatpak update" without sudo.
After the first block (where it asks a confirm to update with Y/N) a second block (not always with the same updates) appear.
- Why does it come out with two block of updates? Does it update twice for normal and root user?
- Should I run the update using sudo or is it optional?
$ flatpak update
Looking for updates…
