Comment 0 for bug 1812456

Availability
============
Built for all supported architectures.

In sync with Debian.

Rationale
=========
xdg-desktop-portal 1.1 now uses libflatpak to validate command line options. The inadequacy of its previous validation was identified during the MIRs for xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk.

https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/278

gnome-control-center 3.31.4 introduced a new Applications panel. The original (and preferred) implementation uses libflatpak to provide additional info about installed Flatpak applications. The implementation was modified on my request to instead attempt to call "flatpak info" on the command line instead in an attempt to avoid us needing to MIR flatpak. The GNOME Control Center developers would prefer if they could use libflatpak instead.

Security
========
This will need a Security review.

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/flatpak

There have been two CVEs, both have been fixed in all supported Ubuntu releases.
