This has been happening to me with English ever since I installed Oo years ago on the MacBook Air I am still using (13-inch, Mid 2011; Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)). I keep getting software update notices, opening them, and going to install an updated English spelling and hyphenation dictionary. If I'm not quick enough to notice the version number/date, I download, click install, and get this message:

You are about to install version ___ of the extension 'English spelling and hyphenation dictionaries and thesaurus'. 
That version is already installed.
...

This has gotten to be quite a PITA, since the interruption throws me off the track of what I'm trying to do — as if my AD(H)D weren't already bad enough. What's more, I'm beginning to brush off and ignore software update notices in general, which is a REALLY BAD IDEA.

Confirmed in Comment#1
It is impossible to know if it is still relevant since Update checking is broken

You could still check it with 4.2.0.

BTW: Update check for AOO and extensions are two separate things.

It is also broken (at least under Ubuntu 18.04)

I do know that. But both are broken in 4.1.x

That's an Ubuntu problem. Maybe you can open an issue for that.
It works at least on Xubuntu and of course on Windows.

For different reasons...
