Umbraco-cms: Wrong package version is listed in Developer -> Packages in Backoffice

[Harvzor]

I have recently released a new version of my package and submitted it to Our Umbraco. However, when searching for my package in the backoffice Umbraco, it still lists the old version with no option to select the new version.

This issue may have been reported before, there's a note at the bottom of U4-7391:

see CON-928 as well, sometimes the very newest version doesn't always show up in the package name/version.

However, I'm not sure what CON-928 is and I cannot find it.

Reproduction

Bug summary

Umbraco incorrectly retrieves the wrong version for install in the backoffice when viewing a package.

Specifics

My package is https://our.umbraco.com/packages/backoffice-extensions/iconator/
Bug reproduced in Umbraco 7.12.3
Tested in FF and Chrome

Go to /umbraco/#/developer/packager/overview and search for "Iconator" and click on the first result:

Above, we can see that the correct version is listed (1.1.2).

Click "Install package"

The wrong version is now listed.

I have tested the install and it installs 1.1.1 rather than 1.1.2.

I have left it about a week and the wrong version is still returned so I assume it's not some caching issue on the Umbraco API.

That's annoying! I can confirm this a problem and we'll have to have a look at this soon, thanks for reporting.

@HarveyWilliams You seem to have the same problem as Lee here, your latest package file no longer has a strict requirement: https://twitter.com/cultiv/status/1064870298720313350

[nul800sebastiaan]

I'll reopen this, if anyone wants to help fix this, the logic has been like this for a while, you can find it in PackageRepositoryService.MapContentToPackageDetails, in strictPackageFileVersions we ignore the fact that a package is possibly archived. That might be something that could be updated to not include archived ones.. But it will take a bit of puzzling and headscratching!

[Harvzor]

I specifically chose my version number in Umbraco, and it's added the type="strict" param:

<requirements type="strict">
  <major>7</major>
  <minor>4</minor>
  <patch>0</patch>
</requirements>

However, when I go to install the package, it's still listing version 1.1.1 as the installable version. Is this a caching issue?

You can download the latest version (1.1.3) here: https://our.umbraco.com/packages/backoffice-extensions/iconator/

@Harvzor We've recently made some improvements in this area, I am getting 1.1.3 now so I feel this is resolved. Let me know if it happens again! 👍

@nul800sebastiaan I've tested too and the right version is coming up. Thanks.
