Darktable seems to be installed twice on my machine, once (probably) via the Software Center (which seems slow / unreliable) and once as a Flatpak (cf. https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.darktable.Darktable). The latter installation is also the current version (3.8) whereas the former is of an older version (3.2.1).
I'd like to remove the older version (3.2.1), but it seems a little weird: Although I can launch it (via command line or via a "launcher") it doesn't seem to be installed - and hence it seems it cannot be removed (neither in Synaptic nor in the command line, cf. various attempts below). Anyway, I can't spontaneously make sense of it and Dr Google also hasn't returned anything helpful yet.
Any ideas?
