Description:

This update for flatpak fixes the following issues:

Improve usability by allowing members of the group 'wheel' to bypass polkit authentication checks when locally logged in (bsc#984817). This adds a few polkit actions to the rules that are not covered by upstream, because they are set to 'yes' for active users by default.

On SUSE we require 'auth_admin' for regular users, however.
