I am getting notifications that updates are available for a bunch of apps, but the version number is the same. Update fails. Package size differs. Screenshot is an example with VLC. I cleared cache, even all data+reinstall, tried other clients (droidify) but the behaviour is the same.

I noticed that many people use unofficial F-Droid clients and wanted to say that unofficial F-Droid clients harm the official F-Droid mirrors because they don't handle them correctly. So please 🙏, if you don't heavily relay on some feature in unofficial client, try the official: F-Droid Basic kr Classic. F-Droid Basic is the most secure too.

What is the source of this info? If it was doing serious damage to them they wouldn't publish these clients on their platform.
