Package Manager offering to update app to existing version

It’s offering me the version of the app that I already have. Compare the versions here:

Anyone know what’s going on here or what to do about it?

The one you have installed is:
42.0+r11+g4a52f026d-1
The one shown in update is:
42.0+r11+g4a52f026-1
Probably a minor mistake done by the packager, see this comment:

Aha! Good spotting. Thanks bogdan. No doubt they will get to correcting it at some point.
