Why does Discover offer me obsolete versions of Mesa?

[jedibeeftrix]

Running x64 KDE Tumbleweed.

Just done a zypper dup to pick up Mesa 25.0.4 from the latest snapshot.

Run Discover to pick up flatpack updates, only to see it is also offering me a dozen library updates under “Application Support” including Mesa 24.3.4:

“Mesa - Refresh of version 24.3.4”
“Mesa - 24.3.4 > 25.0.3”
“Mesa (Extra) - Refresh of version 24.3.4”
“Mesa (Extra) - Refresh of version 24.3.4”

Why is it offering this?
Would it be dangerous to simply accept “Update All” from discover? (Sounds kinda breaky…)

2 options:

• Refresh the repos from Discover and try again
• Run sudo zypper ref -f and try again

FWIW:

@jedibeeftrix Flatpaks applications can run different releases, not tied to system packages. But here on GNOME with flatpaks I see 24.3.4 and 25.0.3 present (and installed as my user, not system).
