XnView Software

Installing a DEB download on Linux Mint Cinnamon (19.3 or 20.1) using Gdebi on completion shows that the same version is already installed...

This happens consistently with XnView MP and XnConvert, the applications run normally, though.

An XnView or Gdebi bug?

To check if a package and which version of it is installed:
Open a terminal and enter:

Code: Select all

dpkg -s

followed by package name.
Example:

Code: Select all

dpkg -s xnview

To offer reinstallation in case its already installed is normal behaviour of package managers.

Thank you, that isn't obvious, maybe the text could be improved?

Would something like 'Installation complete, do you wish to repeat the installation' be the intended meaning as you understand it?
