Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  flatpak libfuse2
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
After this operation, 5.266 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

I believe Flatpak does not need libfuse2 to function, so this seems like
a bug. I was trying to remove libfuse2 to check whether a specific
AppImage would run without it, and encountered this behavior.

apt 2.4.13
