Indeed it shouldn't be out of date. Also the linux launcher should have auto update check disabled because the (undisclosed beta) version pops up every time you open the launcher.

I'm still not seeing why this is even flagged out of date. Latest stable version is 2.1.5965, while beta is 2.1.5969. A user got a message in their launcher and blindly flagged this without verifying (Settings -> About) that this is indeed the latest launcher, released July 23rd: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Launcher_2.1.596x . Use beta if you need an update.

this needs to be updated.

@ywecur @Hoid For me the problem was that (in KDE Plasma) I'd selected a language/region combination that's not an installed locale on my system (specifically: en_NL.UTF-8 - english language system with region set to the Netherlands). I think the breakage was introduced with other recent updates. A work-around is to apply another locale when launching Minecraft:
LC_ALL=C minecraft-launcher
You can use any enabled locale instead of C. For those who, like me, picked en_NL in the desktop settings, I've added an AUR package locale-en-nl-git which can help too.

You need to change the permissions for /opt/minecraft-launcher/ in the pkgbuild.
The new launcher version requires write permissions for the binaries directory in order to launch.

Is there a reason this is flagged as out of date? I'm not seeing one.

I'm getting the same error @ywecur, it might be an issue with the new update to the launcher as it started happening right after I updated it

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The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.
