Updating flatpaks the "new version" column shows currently installed version number

mint update 5.9.6, when updating flatpaks the 'new version' column shows currently installed version number

mtwebster commented 1 year ago

Flatpaks will often update but not change their actual version - when this happens mintupdate should also show a commit 'hash' next to the versions to differentiate them:

Is this what's happening in your case? Unfortunately this is just a normal characteristic of Flatpak packages.

If I get info on the Video Downloader app:

... you can see the Commit (most recent) and Parent (the previous commit) values match what mintupdate is displaying.

Im afraid not, in this case calibre went from 6.10 to 6.11 which was why I particularly noticed it. I personally don't really mind just thought I'd raise it

Weird, I'll keep an eye out for that happening - unfortunately the way flatpaks are made, their actual version and other 'human-readable' info is kept entirely separate from the Flatpaks themselves. I suppose it's possible that this appdata was older than the Flatpak info, as we try to minimize network usage in mintupdate.

edit: If it happens again, can you try a manual refresh to see if that clears it up? (if you hadn't already tried this with the original occurrence).

Hey :cat:

I also noticed that with at least two applications : Freetube & Bitwarden, see screens below.

For Signal, there are a lot of updates so I'm not sure that the issue is on Mint side ;)
