I ran into an annoying problem trying to update an app with a downloaded deb file. First, the software center opened and said the file wasn't supported. I found through searching, the file wasn't in a location the app supported (Problem installing .deb in Software Install Ubuntu 20.04).

But after moving it from /tmp to ~/Downloads I get a different problem, where it just takes me to an info screen, but because I have an earlier version installed (0.19) it doesn't given me the option to install it (see screenshot).

enter image description here

My workaround is just to run sudo dpkg -i from the command line, but it's really unfortunate that this flow doesn't just allowing updating. Is there some configuration that's broken?
