Command 'pdfarranger' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo snap install pdfarranger  # version 1.9.2, or
sudo apt  install pdfarranger  # version 1.10.0-1
See 'snap info pdfarranger' for additional versions.

This shows that pdfarranger snap has version 1.9.2 as snap… but, it’s completely wrong which is visible in the previous command. Is this any kind of glitch?

It’s not apt, IIRC it’s command-not-found that’s making the suggestions. I just tried and see this

$ pdfarranger
Command 'pdfarranger' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo snap install pdfarranger  # version 1.10.1, or
sudo apt  install pdfarranger  # version 1.10.0-1
See 'snap info pdfarranger' for additional versions.

So I’d guess the stable channel recently updated and there’s a delay/cache that was making it still show the older version .

Glad to see it’s fixed.

Yes, I also faced it. So, yes that is probably the case.
