Bug ID: 400527
Summary: Flatpak backend shows incorrect size of updates
Product: Discover
Version: 5.14.2
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Flatpak Backend
Assignee: aleix...@kde.org
Reporter: nibg...@gmail.com
CC: jgrul...@redhat.com
Target Milestone: ---
Created attachment 116013
--> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=116013&action=edit
Size of updates: Discover v/s "$ flatpak update"
SUMMARY
Flatpak backend of Discover does not differentiate between the installation
size and the update size of the Flatpak packages (installation size always
shown).
For example, in the attached image, the "io.atom.Atom" package update is
35.3MB, but Discover shows that the update is 133.3MB. This is most noticeable
in the Flatpak Runtime updates, where Discover shows updates of more than
700MB, when sometimes the download does not exceed 30MB.
This may be a problem for users who have an Internet connection with a traffic
limit (mobile connections), since some users may refrain from updating their
system when they see the big size of the updates in Discover, in Flatpak
packages.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
When there is an update of some Flatpak package, run "$ flatpak update" and
compare the size of the update with the one that shows Discover.
OBSERVED RESULT
In the updates, Discover shows the installation size of the Flatpak packages,
not the update size. The user is informed of an incorrect update download size
(much bigger than the real one)
EXPECTED RESULT
Discover shows the real size to download in Flatpak package updates.
