flatpak gpg-agent

Any idea why flatpak is trying to talk with gpg-agent ?

$ flatpak --user -y update
Looking for updates…
gpg-connect-agent: no running gpg-agent - starting '/usr/bin/gpg-agent'
gpg-connect-agent: waiting for the agent to come up ... (5s)
gpg-connect-agent: connection to agent established
Nothing to do.

possible bug maybe ?

I've found this but does not help me.

$ flatpak --version
Flatpak 1.4.2

okay, I have an idea for is trying to connect to gpg-agent to verify packages from their repo.

I just started seeing the same issue yesterday.  So far no luck in resolving it.

Seeing this as well, probably an upstream issue, but I cannot find a report for this, which I find strange.
