[GNC] flatpak 4.4 reports anomaly

[Geert Janssens]

In that case the first thing to do is to figure out how exactly your system 
calls the flatpak version of gnucash. There are quite a few subtle details 
that may affect this.

You can examine the menu entry to figure out what command is being run 
exactly.

Out of curiosity have you been removing installed flatpaks manually by 
deleting associated directories ? The error suggests flatpak believes a 
version of gnucash (master) is installed on your system while it appears not 
to.
