Description
### What Happened?
I ran flatpak update in the terminal to investigate the issue, and I saw that it prompted for user confirmation because the name of two packages installed from AppCenter changed, specifically Jorts and its locale. I believe updating from AppCenter may get stuck at the user confirmation, causing the update to fail to apply.
### Steps to Reproduce
1. Have a Flatpak runtime with a pending update where the package name has changed
2. Attempt to update through AppCenter
3. Restart the system
4. AppCenter still shows the update as needed
### Expected Behavior
Depends on whether AppCenter should warn and prompt the user about package name changes or just quietly accept them; the former is Flatpak CLI's default behavior.
