I have tried running ``flatpak repair`` , tried both system and user, same result. Also tried deleting ```/home/guy/.local/share/flatpak/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/`` and made sure to run flatpak upgrade. Still getting it.
Output of: ``flatpak remote-info --log flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam``
```
guy@golem6:~$ flatpak remote-info --log flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam
