Describe the issue in detail

Demonstration video:
Screencast from 2024-03-04 10-36-51.webm

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. flatpak install --user org.gnome.gitgDevel with GNOME Nightly version
  2. Try to downgrade to a previous version, without "Disable Upgrades"

Result: nothing happens in practice. Both warehouse and flatpak on the commandline confirm that the package has remained at the latest version.

Terminal output

There was no output in the terminal.

Furthermore, if you manually downgrade using the commandline, such as:

flatpak update --user --commit=2c877f18bcdd72bad4d0138625298edb70e90082e76570a1555546a8faa66da3 org.gnome.gitgDevel

…then warehouse's GUI still does not show the latest available commit ID compared to the one you checked out:

I have figured out the issue, the code for downgrades runs with pkexec at all times, even for --user installed paks. This causes Flatpak to think those --user installed apps are not installed because it's being ran as root. I know how to fix this and it will be resolved shortly. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

Seems like the fix was committed and released now!
