Whenever I run `flatpak update` the usual upgrading of packages happens but it keeps on failing to update openh264. Specifically, these are the errors I get:

```plaintext

```

This is an excerpt from running `flatpak -vv update`:

I couldn’t find an answer online, I found a similar issue suggesting `flatpak repair` but this didn’t work either. Thank you for taking the time to read this, I think I have provided all the necessary information but please let me know if otherwise. I’m running Fedora 39.

So sorry for the late reply, no I don’t use a VPN.

Just to add to the record: this issue still persists with Fedora 40. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that Cisco doesn’t have its TLS certificates in order. See [ciscobinary.openh264.org using invalid certificate · Issue #3748 · cisco/openh264 · GitHub](https://github.com/cisco/openh264/issues/3748).
