# Description

For the record, I've already figured out a workaround and the Discord app is now working again on my laptop. So I don't need help, I'm just reporting this bug.

(Read the Steps to Reproduce and Result sections...)

But that's just the way the issue *manifests*... That's probably because of a weird version number mismatch, where my version 0.0.90 Discord app wants me to update to a version that calls itself 0.0.89 but the .deb package installer GUI doesn't want to let the user downgrade a package.

The workaround I used is as follows:
1. The most recent update, I downloaded and renamed the file "discord-0.0.89 (2).deb" (because I still have the past few Discord app update .deb files on disk.)
2. In a terminal window, I ran ```sudo dpkg -i 'discord-0.0.89 (2).deb'``` and the package downgraded successfully. (See image attachment 3.)
3. I launch the Discord app, and it does the usual post-update process ("Downloading update 1 of 6" and "Installing update 1 of 6" etc.) and then seems to work perfectly without a hitch.

Additionally, refer to image attachment 4 to see the approximate release dates of the previous few Discord app versions (I use Discord on my laptop almost every day).

I don't regularly check my email, so I've uploaded a .tar.gz file containing the self-contained .deb packages of 0.0.88, 0.0.89. 0.0.90, and 0.0.89(2) on Google Drive. I've done this in advance in case anyone on the dev or support teams might find it useful.

Pre-workaround Discord app 0.0.90 version info:
[unknown] (can't get into the Discord app proper to see it...)
Post-workaround Discord app 0.0.89 version info:
stable 389335 (8ebfee0) Host 0.0.89 x64 Build Override: N/A Linux 64-bit (6.8.0-57-generic)

# Steps to Reproduce

Using Linux Mint Xfce version 22(?) (based on Ubuntu)

Had previously installed the following updates as they released:
- discord-0.0.88.deb
- discord-0.0.89.deb
- discord-0.0.90.deb

Had version 0.0.90 installed at the time of the issue occuring.

Launch the Discord app, see the common "new update is available" message. (See image attachment 1.)

Click the button which sends me to https://discord.com/api/download/stable?platform=linux&format=deb as usual.

Using Firefox (or other web browser) save the file, then double-click it to open a .deb package installer GUI...

# Expected Result

Usually, the .deb package installer GUI shows a green button that says "Install Package", and I click that to install the update, input my laptop's root password, and everything goes smoothly as one would expect.

# Actual Result

Instead, in the .deb package installer GUI... That button which would usually be green is instead greyed-out and unclickable, and there's a red banner that reads "Error: A later version is already installed". (See image attachment 2.)
