Strange thing about octopi

When you install octopi from universe, the package version says it is version 0.13 (see bleow), while in reality it installs 0.12 (see attached image)

$ paru octopi
1 universe/octopi 0.13.0-1 [0B 5.57MiB] [Installed]
A powerful Pacman frontend using Qt5 libs
2 aur/octopi 0.13.0-1 [+951 ~19.33] [Installed]
This is Octopi, a powerful Pacman frontend using Qt libs

When I click help/About below the about box
I am quite sure it is the 0.12 version because 0.13 fixes an issue I have reported to the project repo: here https://github.com/aarnt/octopi/issues/509

which is : octopi action "Open PKGBUILD" doesn't work, when you try that action, you get an HTML page

I have noted this as well @Nadir‍. Also, I have the dev version of octopi installed which I compiled from source and while it is packaged as octopi-0.13.0-1, the "About" shows it as "Version: 0.14 (dev) - Qt 5.15.3".
Seems like some sort of version numbering confusion.

Best regards.

Same here. The AUR version works too.
