This might be a real stupid question but why is discover updating to a lower version? Is there any place I can read up why this is the case?

P.S.: Yes, I could have absolutely google this but lemmy is about more than just shitposts and memes imo. Asking some rather noobish questions will make us appear on google btw.

    Under what circumstances? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a package downgraded during an upgrade.

      I somehow missed this to be a flatpak via Discover. Granted this may not be usual in distros with a traditional update model, downgrading packages may be present in rolling distros, or distros with overlapping minor versions, or having 3rd party repos providing conflicting packages to those of the distro.

      I offer my system as example:

      The following product is going to be upgraded:
        openSUSE Tumbleweed  20240211-0 -> 20240313-0
      
      The following 14 packages are going to be downgraded:
        ghc-binary ghc-containers ghc-deepseq ghc-directory ghc-exceptions ghc-mtl ghc-parsec ghc-pretty ghc-process ghc-stm ghc-template-haskell ghc-text ghc-time ghc-transformers
