Description Matthias Clasen 2017-02-28 14:05:09 UTC
Recently, the telegram flatpak was switched to use a kde runtime. Jan updated the RuntimeRepo in his flatpakref to point to the new repository, but for existing users, the update was not installable, since it was requiring a runtime which no configured remote provided.

At the very least, I would expect gnome-software to notice the error, inform the user, and mark the update as uninstallable.

We should probably show a permanent warning against an app if its updates are broken. Also, it probably shouldn't be shown in the updates list.
