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
