I use a specific flatpak app, downgraded to a version that runs stable. My fedora system (33) routinely upgrades the app. How can I tell flatpak to never update a specific package/app?

The command is

 flatpak mask org.some.App

see man flatpak-mask for instructions on the command.

https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/2834 and https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/pull/3130 provide you with the history to this command.

  • On my system, `flatpak install [ref]` defaults to `--user`, contrary to the man page which says it defaults to `--system`. But `flatpak mask` defaults to `--system`, so I have to add the `--user` flag. Not sure how or why it's set up this way. – Big McLargeHuge Apr 14 '23 at 15:23
