Running flatpak update gets me this wierd output - Only after I went from 35->36

I recently upgraded with the help of this site and its amazing userbase, from 35 to 36 running KDE Plasma as well. Everything went smooth. I started to notice this recently after the upgrade and I’m not sure how to handle this, I’m still new to CLI, Fedora and linux in general. Learning everyday though. Heres the output after running flatpak update each morning in my terminal.

[ozziekenezovich@fedora ~]$ flatpak update
Looking for updates…

Nothing to do

Sorry if that’s not how you best post outputs from the terminal, Which button formats it correctly?

Try running:

flatpak remove --unused

Also, it looks like the flatpak com.gitlab.davem.ClamTk needs to be updated by it’s author.

thanks for the reply maybe I’ll just remove it. zHeres the result of that suggested command

[ozziekenezovich@fedora ~]$ flatpak remove --unused

These runtimes in installation 'system' are pinned and won't be removed; see flatpak-pin(1):
  runtime/org.fedoraproject.Platform/x86_64/f35
Nothing unused to uninstall
[ozziekenezovich@fedora ~]$

flatpak pin
will give you a list of runtimes that are pinned.

flatpak pin --remove runtime/org.fedoraproject.Platform/x86_64/f35

Than you should be able to remove it

what does Pinned mean and why is it used?

From the man page for flatpak-pin
Flatpak maintains a list of patterns that define which refs are pinned. A pinned ref will never be
automatically uninstalled (as are unused runtimes periodically). This can be useful if for example you are
using a runtime for development purposes.

   Runtimes that are explicitly installed, rather than installed as a dependency of something else, are
   automatically pinned.

I’m not sure why the f35 runtime would be pinned after upgrading to F36.

TY for this!
