Hi Tim,

I think this will show what wants it installed.
apt-rdepends --state-follow=Installed --state-show=Installed -r flatpak
If it prints just ‘flatpak’ then no other installed or
marked-for-install package has it as a dependency.
Perhaps it is still marked for install from earlier?
apt-mark showinstall | grep -x flatpak
> How do I block it from installing the Flatpak application??
> Is it simply:
> sudo apt-mark hold flatpak (1.16.6-1~deb13u2)
> Or is it:
> sudo apt-mark hold flatpak
The latter. Afterwards, ‘apt-mark showhold’ should confirm.
