Arduino 1.8.5 keep showing update is available but nothing to update

Development Tools IDE 1.x

Arduino 1.8.5 is keep showing that update is available - library "SD" by Arduino. But I have version 1.2.1, when I click on Select version, only older versions are available 1.2.0 and older, but this is still showing as Updateable libraries and it is showing after IDE startup.

I've been trying to get the Arduino developers to deal with the IDE bug that causes this for 2 years now without any response whatsoever:

I've reported the issue specific to the SD library here:

Again, zero response.

The easy workaround is File > Preferences > Check for Updates on Startup (uncheck) > OK but then you don't get legitimate update notifications and that's a very useful feature.

The more complex workaround is to revert Added architecture specific definitions in library.properties · arduino-libraries/SD@9543f55 · GitHub by doing this:

  • File > Examples > SD > CardInfo
  • Sketch > Show Sketch Folder
  • Navigate up two folder levels to the SD folder
  • Open library.properties in a text file
  • Change line 9 from:
architectures=avr,sam,samd,arc32

to:

architectures=*
  • Save the file

yeah, just say I need edit library.properties in libraries folder :slight_smile:

thanks

Interesting is, this was not happening before, but I do not know what was breaking point, I was not using Arduino IDE for some time.
