Hi @Savanni ,

The image isn't small. Please right click on it and select "Open in new tab". But I just found out the possible root cause of this issue. I changed my locale from Turkish to C by typing the following commands:

export LANG=C
export LC_ALL=C

Then the updates went through just fine. (I've all flatpaks installed as user btw not as system) Then I went back to Turkish locale and retried and got that issue again even though the update went fine with C locale.

I suppose flatpak downloads the corresponding Locale for user's locale; this explains why it redownloads (all) locale package(s) once you change your locale. But I don't understand why such a problem would occur for 1Password only. (I don't have this problem with other apps though 1Password is the only one I install outside flathub)
