Description

Keybase GUI Version: 6.0.1-20220609140211+0fc9feea3d running on Windows 10 keeps asking for an update all the time, even after it is updated to latest version.

From the update window, it looks like it can' get the current version, so it always thinks there is a newer one available. (See attached image.)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the update prompt on Windows 10 with Keybase GUI version 6.0.1-20220609140211+0fc9feea3d, then inspect how the update window determines the current version. The issue is done when an already-current installation no longer repeatedly offers the same update.
