Discover fails to install an application, I tested Telegram, I started Discover from terminal and got this log:

mustafa@mustafa-pc:~$ plasma-discover

Failed to install "org.telegram.desktop" : "GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed: Error deploying: Key file does not start with a group"

Using Neon dev git-unstable, Discover version 5.11.90
With flatpak backend installed

OK, the problem is probably in flatpak, it didn't install it from console too:

mustafa@mustafa-pc:~$ flatpak install flathub org.telegram.desktop
Installing: org.telegram.desktop/x86_64/stable from flathub

Yes, it was fixed by the upstream flatpak fix, thank you.
