Bug ID: 465437
Summary: Flatpak system software/runtimes that must be updated
with hard dependency should not be unselectable when
app update is available
Classification: Applications
Product: Discover
Version: 5.26.5
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Flatpak Backend
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: yiz...@kulodgei.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org, jgrul...@redhat.com,
trav...@redhat.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
When updating flatpaks in Discover, the user has the ability to either manually
uncheck Applications, Addons and System Software one by one or Select
All/Select None at the bottom. Currently if I were to uncheck everything in
System Software aka Runtimes as they are known in flatpak, if there is a hard
dependency to a flatpak they will be updated regardless if they were checked
off or not. This seems disingenuous. If I were uncheck a system
software/runtime I would expect Discover to not do anything as is displayed.
Example:
Applications
[x] Dolphin
Addons
[empty]
System Software
[] Free desktop w.e
then when Dolphin is updated, since Free desktop is a hard dependency after the
install is done and Discover refreshes I now see:
Applications
[empty]
Addons
[empty]
System Software
[empty]
I would expect Free desktop w.e to still be there if it wasn't checked off.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install a bunch of flatpaks that have lots of dependencies. Signal, Firefox,
Krita, etc
2. Wait a couple days/weeks depending on the apps for updates to appear
OBSERVED RESULT
System software/runtime is updated/refreshed despite not being checked off when
accompanying software is updated/refreshed
EXPECTED RESULT
Can Discover be updated so system software/runtimes that are required to be
updated or "refreshed" with accompanying are made read only when the
application is selected?

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
