Why does the Pop! Shop keep installing a deb copy of all software?
Why does the Pop! Shop keep installing a deb copy of all software?
I'm not sure if this is a bug or user error, but seemingly every time I install some software, for example the flatpak version of Steam, the Pop! Shop shows an Update available, which then installs the deb version of the same application.
So I end up with two copies of Steam, two copies of VS Code, and a few more apps. Removing this extra deb version works but messes up the app icons.
What is going on?
Check your repo lists, you may have extra repos that may have been added by your app installs.
It doesn't.
I agree it shouldn't, but it appears to do so. I'll see if I can reproduce it again, and if so I'll file a bug. It's just so strange I'm still not 100% sure if it isn't user error somehow..
Well I can't repro it. I'm reasonably sure it installed the deb version of a package through an "Update", even though I just installed the same app as a Flatpak moments before. But now it doesn't seem to happen anymore with other apps. I tried Audacity and a few others. Anyway, strange..
