Brave is out of date message on Linux even though Brave appears to be up to date

1

Hi all;

I posted this on Reddit, and was asked to put it here. I’m a first time poster, so if I’m breaking any protocol, please let me know.

I’ve been running Brave on Linux Mint for months now. I installed it with the instructions listed at https://brave.com/linux/, and I run sudo apt update regularly, so I was surprised when today I saw “Update - Brave is out of date”.

I’ve restarted Brave, manually running sudo apt update says that all packages are up to date, and explicitly running sudo apt install brave-browser returns “brave-browser is already the newest version (1.61.120).”

Brave still has the “Brave is out of data” alert, however.

Is anyone else seeing this?

That’s very weird — looks like you’re actually several versions behind. Let me reach out to some of our Linux team about this.

I just reran all five of the instructions for a Linux install, with Brave already installed.

When I rean the “sudo apt install brave-browser” command, the response was:

brave-browser is already the newest version (1.63.174).

Could something have changed in brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg? Rerunning the curl command could potentially have changed something in brave-browser-release.list.

My problem’s been solved, but I’m curious as to why and how I could be several versions behind and it wasn’t updated by sudo apt update, and also why sudo apt install originally returned 1.161.120 as being current.
