Unable to update (from AppCenter) "xdg-desktop-portal desktop integration portal for Flatpak and Snap Version: 1.7.2-flatpak1~bionic"

The words contained within quotes above comprise the description listed under Operating System Updates.

As a workaround that prevents the update from appearing in AppCenter, I disabled these deb and deb-src repositories: ppa.launchpad.net/alexlarsson/flatpak/ubuntu/

  • Brandon, I have Synaptic Package Manager installed. Using it, disabling specific repositories is easy: Go to Settings > Repositories from within the package manager's user interface.

Remove the http://ppa.launchpad.net/alexlarsson/flatpak/ubuntu ppa.

You might've added it from various guides around the internet when flatpak was released, that's how I got it. It's no longer needed as, since 5.1, elementary supports flatpak out of the box.
