Title: Uninstalled snaps show most recent channel version, not version to be installed by default Status in snapd: Won't Fix Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-software source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in gnome-software source package in Bionic: Fix Released Status in gnome-software source package in Cosmic: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] GNOME Software can show incorrect version of snap that will be installed on details page. [Test Case] 1. Open GNOME Software. Ensure blender or spotify snap is not installed. 2. Select blender or spotify snap (tried 28-04-2018, may change if store versions are changed) Expected result: Version label shows version to be installed (stable channel by default) Observed result: Version label shows most recently uploaded version, i.e. from the edge channel. This is not the version that will be installed when clicking install. [Regression Potential] The logic around choosing which version value to show was changed. Could create other bugs with this data. Orignial text: Ubuntu Software, when showing metadata about a snap package, is most of the time, likely to get information which is misleading, since it shows info from the *most recently* uploaded snap, regardless of which channel the snap was uploaded to. An example of this is to search for blender, and see that the version shows the edge channel - 2.80-4de142e0b7b and not the stable channel - 2.79. After actually installing the application, the correct metadata is shown. See https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/unexpected-revision-information- exposed-in-some-situations/5163 for more details.
