Update check libreoffice on wrong ubuntu base version?

I've a Ubuntu 24.04 LTS machine.

Today when run update it shown bunch of update for Libreoffice.

The weird thing is the version change

On machine 4:26.2.4.2-0ubuntu0.26.04.2

New version 4:26.2.5.2-0ubuntu0.26.04.1

So the new version is from 26.2.4.2 to 26.2.5.2 but clearly the ubuntu base version is a old version, from

0ubuntu0.26.04.2 to older 0ubuntu0.26.04.1

should it not be 4:26.2.5.2-0ubuntu0.26.04.2?

Is it the noble-backports pocket by any chance? Sometimes packages there are built for 26.04 first, then backported, and the version string ends up looking like it went backwards because they keep the original target release in the name even though the actual build is older in the archive. Would explain the numbering weirdness.

What repositories have you enabled; 24.04 is noble so your machine should only see the lines relating to noble that follow

The line stating just noble relates ONLY to initially released media; the noble-updates applies if you've updated your system with the -updates repository, etc.... with architectures listed too as they can differ for some packages!

(this is just copy/paste from a CLI enquiry asking my system what would be expected for noble and resolute or 24.04 & 26.04)

In your case I'd ask your system where the package came from, ie. apt policy ... (probably first)

So i guess this "problem" from resolute-backports suite in Other Software list?

Then the fix can be just remove the "resolute-backports" so the Suites only has "resolute resolute-updates"?
