For those wondering: I should've realized this much earlier, the importance being 'Low' is not some sort of anti-Flatpak conspiracy, it's because the bug satisfies the criteria for Low importance as per: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance
'Bugs that affect unusual end-user configurations or uncommon hardware Bugs that affect a non-essential aspect and limited scope of the application Non-ideal default configuration' Though I think there's a case to make this higher importance: 'A bug that has a moderate impact on a core application' (Medium) 'Has a severe impact on a small portion of Ubuntu users (estimated)' (High) 'Renders essential features or functionality of the application or dependencies broken or ineffective' (High) - some would consider installing Flatpaks from their software center an 'essential feature', even if Flatpak and the plugin in question are in universe not main.

I'm on an up to date Artful install What I did was:- Click on http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/09/download-pithos-pandora-app-1-4 Click the flathub link:- https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/io.github.Pithos.flatpakref This downloaded the flatpakref file. I clicked the file in my browser, nothing happened I then tried finding the file in nautilus and double clicked it. GNOME Software launched and presented an error "Don't know how to handle 'file:///home/alan/Downloads/io.github.Pithos.flatpakref' (see screenshot). If I search for pithos in GNOME Software I am able to find the older version from the deb repo, but not the newer version from flathub. Do we not support flatpak/flathub out of the box? Or is my system uniquely hosed?
