AppCenter fails to apply Flatpak runtime updates when package names change #2400

Description

@dwskcw

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.
