Can't update Flatpak runtimes

Linux Distributions Pop!_OS

I am running the latest version of Pop OS on a framework laptop. I keep getting this message in Pop shop:

3 components with updates:
• org.freedesktop.Platform Flatpak runtime
• org.gnome.Platform Flatpak runtime
• org.kde.Platform Flatpak runtime

The update option with Pop Shop does not update these runtimes. I tried the using, flatpak update, in the command line and this was the response.

Any suggestions?

I tried an Internet search for:

I got a hit on reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/pzkbsh/flatpak_update_error_for_popos_2104/

The first response in the reddit thread suggests a fix. Check it out?
