Thanks for reporting. There was a manual editing error that didn't get caught: https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/blob/v4.4.5/CMakeLists.txt#L82 Technically, that is only aesthetic and doesn't affect the functionality, so we won't be making a release just to fix this issue. It's technically not "intentional", but since it is not going to be fixed I will mark it as such.
Yes, I know this is a low level problem. The only matter that I thought it may affect is in the next release. Does the installer checks the version of Krita being updated? For example if the next release is 4.4.6, can the installer think that it is older than the installed version (as it is now marked as 4.5.4)? And can that affect in any way? Maybe there is no problem at all, but just in case :)
