SUMMARY

There's this weird "KDE Application Platform" flathub package update showing up every now and then.
If try to update it, it instantly downloads [pretends to] the around 300MB and then pretends to install it -- just to show it again next time I open Discover.

I decided to finally uninstall this non-sense, but when I click on uninstall it just gives the non informative message "Aborted due to failure". Which failure?

In the terminal output there's no useful log.

I could solve it by 

> flatpak list
> flatpak uninstall $appname

in the terminal.

It turned out to be a required dependency of another flatpak package.
