Auto-update ALWAYS finds conflicts despite no modifications on Linux platform...
已回答
This started from around a year or maybe a little more ago.
Whenever I try to auto-update CLion on any of my Linux boxes (all running Ubuntu 18.04 right now), I get a huge list of conflicts (see picture below).
That didn't happen before (back in 2017, for example). I have been re-downloading every time since then. I don't know if it makes a difference (it shouldn't anyway), but I do move CLion folder via the terminal to my opt directory after decompressing and removing the folder suffix, i.e. "sudo mv clion /opt/" (I do recursively remove the old /opt/clion folder, that doesn't help). This way I don't need to worry about changing shortcuts. Any idea how to avoid this issue? If not, shall I open a bug report?

Hello!
Please note that the folder in which you extract a CLion distributive must be empty. This is a mandatory requirement. For example, extracting a new distributive over the existing one is forbidden.
I would suggest you to completely remove the /opt/clion folder, download CLion 2018.2.3, unpack the downloaded archive to /opt, rename the folder if it's needed. If you face the issue during the next update, please let us know by writing to clion-support at jetbrains.com.
Also feel free to try using Toolbox App: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/clion/installation-guide.html#toolbox. It helps to install and maintain different products or several versions of the same product, update and roll back when necessary, and easily remove any tool.
Thank you!
As I mentioned, I do completely remove the old folder before installing the new, every time. That doesn't seem to help. But I'll try to use the snap package first, see if that behaves better. If not, then I'll try out the Linux version of the Toolbox App per your suggestion.
