I'm just trying to run a flatpak update (as a normal user) on my
Debian system, and for some reason it's asking me to authenticate
to provide root privileges to upgrade the packages
org.kde.KStyle.Adwaita, org.kde.Platform.Locale, and
org.kde.Platform. It's never done that before. Is it anything to
worry about?
(The only directly-installed packages are
org.torproject.torbrowser-launcher and chat.delta.desktop, those
KDE ones appear somewhere in the dependency tree.)
