Both the minecraft
and minecraft-launcher
packages are broken for me. When running them there are no errors in the console, then the window just doesn't open and the process is at 100% on one of my cpu cores.
The launcher_log.txt doesn't give any information either.

The package version is the version of the launcher bootstrap - the part that actually downloads and updates the launcher.
That means the version number of the actual launcher (2.x.xxx) is different from the version here (9xx+) on a fundamental level, and should not be compared.
The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.
