 Replying to [comment:7 Otto42]:

 to check if the suggested update is for a child theme and avoid it as it's
 most likely an unintended name clash.

 WordPress will detect it and auto-install the parent for it too.

 Thanks @Otto42 my bad, had searched in the repo but couldn't see any
 denoted as child themes or any filters to find them so had assumed there.
 I appreciate you correcting my lack of knowledge there.
