Old Packages Uploaded During Startup

[AEM_Dan]

We have many testing instances that were all installed the same way years ago and all upgraded from SP12 to SP18 earlier this year.  On some of them, during startup, error.log indicates some packages are being uploaded again.  One of interest, is the SP18 package.

In turn, it appears in package manager like this:

However, I'm certain SP18 is running and not 12.

Hi @AEM_Dan ,

Few things that you can try is that go to your console (<host>:<port>)system/console/productinfo) and double check the installed product. Also go to the path (/libs/system/aem-service-pkg-6.5.18.0) and see if SP 18 is installed there.
If SP18 is available then next thing you can try to do, first on your local is that remove the SP 12 from (/libs/system/) path and restart the local instance and check if you are still seeing the above mentioned error.
Note: This has to be done only on local first and do the testing if all existing functionality is working fine.

SP18 is indeed the service pack that is running (checked productinfo, System Overview, and /libs/system).

Removing SP12 from /libs/system does not work.  However, I can remove the package either through crx-de (/etc/packages/adobe/cq650/servicepack) or package manager UI (Select SP18 package, then More dropdown.  Click Other Versions, open SP12, then More -> Delete.). I no longer get the message on the package "A different version seems to be installed..."

However, I am still getting these entries in error.log during start up and the SP18 package will always show at the top of package manager.  It's confusing, because someone might think SP18 was recently installed.  Any thoughts on that?
