Maintainers don’t push release candidates or major updates to stable releases since that’s risky.
F34 already has flameshot-0.10. The rpm you seem to have is a release candidate for version 0.10 (which is older than 0.10). If you are on F33, the best thing to do is to update to F34. I doubt F33 will see version 0.10, although you can ask the maintainer by filing a bug and see what they have to say.
As a side note: updating versions isn’t as simple as rebuilding a new version. If newer libraries are required, the whole set has to be updated. So for example, if version 0.10 requires a newer Qt version that isn’t available on F33, version 0.10 cannot be built on F33 either.
Thanks for clarifying this, I had no idea, and I thought apps would continue to function as they are updated with end of life versions of Fedora, just out of curiosity, what types of dependencies and libraries are not included when apps get updated.
What I mean is, what types of differences make the updated apps not work in Fedora 33 as compared to Fedora 34. I am running Cinammon so wouldnt there be no difference
Also I get this message on my system when I run flatpak updates.
[benji@localhost ~]$ sudo flatpak update

On any Fedora (rpm) package, run: rpm -q --requires <packagename> and you’ll see what libraries it needs. If it relies on shared objects, it’ll rely on a specific version of it. For example, see:
The versions of the underlying libraries—any library: glibc, boost, anything at all. Only if the right versions are available in Fedora can dependent applications be built.
You’re mixing things here. Flatpaks are built using a very different build system to RPMs. Your Flatpaks do not depend on what rpms you have installed at all. They have their own way of including their dependencies and so on.
Try:
flatpak uninstall --unused
If you’re still getting this message, some Flatpak that you have installed is using this old runtime and it should be updated to use a newer one.
So the programs that it is asking to uninstall based on that command you sent are the following
[benji@localhost ~]$ flatpak uninstall --unused
ID Branch Op
1. com.github.Eloston.UngoogledChromium.Codecs stable r
2. com.github.Eloston.UngoogledChromium.Locale stable r
3. org.freedesktop.Platform.ffmpeg-full 20.08 r
Proceed with these changes to the system installation? [Y/n]:
If I remove that will my sound and video still work, ffmpeg are video and sound codecs right?
Also, actually the apps using the old Gnome 3.36 runtime are:
Fondo
Klavaro
So why didnt they get asked to be removed when I ran this code below ?
Let’s be more specific: some Flatpak applications/runtiles will be uninstalled. This does not touch packages installed as rpms in any way.
Yep. Read man flatpak-uninstall and see what it says for the --unused option. And of course, your system in general uses software and libraries that are not installed as Flatpaks. You should read up more on Flatpaks to understand how they work. Some resources here:
What makes you think that? (Also note that the gnome 3.36 runtime is not being removed—probably because it’s in use by these).
Right this makes sense, the flatpaks are not operating system files of course, silly me. Thanks for clearing that up. Flatpaks are containers, I’ll read that article, thanks
I figured that becase it mentions the below these were the outdated softwares and I need to move to either the new gnome 40 with Fedora 34.
[root@localhost benji]# flatpak update

This will have to be discussed with whoever is providing the Flatpak. Find their repository here and then see if an issue is filed about it, and file a new one if not:
I don’t want to install any QT programs in Fedora 34, so I used the appimage version and so far it works very well. appimage also works with fedora 33
