Describe the bug
VSCodium on Linux with update checking always indicates that an update is available, even if the latest version in installed.

Please confirm that this problem is VSCodium-specific

  • This bug doesn't happen if I use Microsoft's Visual Studio Code. It only happens in VSCodium.

Please confirm that the issue/resolution isn't already documented

To Reproduce
I use VSCodium on Linux with the following product.json file:

{
  "updateUrl": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VSCodium/versions/refs/heads/master",
  "downloadUrl": "https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases"
}

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start latest version of VSCodium (currently 1.98.2.25072).
  2. Wait a few seconds.
  3. The update indicator shows availability of an update and offers to download it (see screenshot).

Expected behavior
The update indicator should not show availability of an update if the latest version is running.
