Meaning, AIUI, that today, when the OP gets/got his update, he will 
get/got one whose --version output correctly says 0.26.  (And, in all 
reality, he basically had 0.26 in all but name/--version output.)  So, 
he never really got "upgraded" to the wrong branch/version--just got a 
version whose --version was confusing/scary.
