Public bug reported: 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.
