Change org.wesnoth.Wesnoth to org.wesnoth.Wesnoth//<theVersionYouWant> where <theVersionYouWant> is either stable or 1.14.

@gmodena This issue should probably be converted to one that covers updating docs to either explain this, or link to a resource that does.

[ReedClanton]

Maybe a link to this page that explains how flatpak identifiers are formatted to the docs. Also an example somewhere that uses it.

[gmodena]

I'll leave this issue open for future reference and add some pointers to doc; but I think the error message (and @ReedClanton ) was pretty clear :

One issue with this is that when you select a specific branch (e.g. org.wesnoth.Wesnoth//stable) and have uninstallUnmanagedPackages set to true it will uninstall and then reinstall the package on every system generation since it only checks against the base app ID (org.wesnoth.Wesnoth//stable != org.wesnoth.Wesnoth, uninstalled; org.wesnoth.Wesnoth//stable on the list, reinstalled).
