> Please fill the bugs properly.

I think it is clear, usually, since I daily check flatpak, almost everyday there are a couple of updates; since at least three weeks, there are not; I guess that someting is wrong with flatpak; it's why I have posted this message because I think it's a bug; I can't say more
Comment 3 sturmvogel 2024-05-13 19:17:48 CEST
It is possible that there are no updates.
But you should at least provide some informations like youre remotes and installed apps...
Comment 4 Morgan Leijström 2024-05-13 20:23:59 CEST
Comment 1 was also about you filled the fields wrong - see the corrections.

Also, why do you run flatpak as root?

When you check flathub, you will see that your two apps had the last update some time ago:
Tor browser launcher-> last update a month ago
Whats App Desktop-> last update a year ago

So there were no updates for this two apps for some time. You may only get updates for the used runtimes...

most of times, updates concern the remotes and not the apps themselves

I dont think flatpak tells when the remote (repository) is changed, you only see relevant updates for your system.

I think you meant to say the runtime environment such as freedesktop, KDE, Gnome get updated, yes somewhat often. And I also see drivers such as nvidia updating.

There is no problem then, as I understand it.
