What the title says. GNOME Software app shows a list of updates that go away once I click ‘Update’, but then show up again after I reopen the app. Flatpak CLI does not show these updates, and flatpak repair does nothing.
These seem to be Freedesktop, GNOME and KDE runtimes from Flathub. What ar the outputs of:
$ rpm-ostree status
$ flatpak remotes
$ flatpak list --runtime
$ flatpak update

Well, looking at it now, I suspect that removing Lutris would allow me to get rid of these.
I’ve tried it, and that didn’t help.

It is a bit strange. I’m on Silverblue, but have never encountered such an issue. It’s as if the flatpak CLI tooling and GNOME Software are out of sync.
Is Flathub active in GNOME Software → Software Repositories → Third Party Repositories?
Maybe a cleaning with flatpak uninstall --unused might help (or at least do no harm)?
Tried that just now, also didn’t have any effect on the Software app.
The solution turned out to be rather simple. I was getting HTTP 403 trying to update org.freedesktop.Platform.openh264, so I’ve tried to update it from under a VPN, and succeeded.
