It's super annoying though, that installing an app from F-Droid sometimes appears as installed from Play Store as well. For example, I have VLC installed from F-Droid, but it also appears in the Play Store update list and _can't_ be updated from there.

Does someone know why this is? I assume it's Google just assuming it's the only app source and not bothering to check the installation source associated with apps when pulling them into its update check list. Or is there no way on Android to check whether you're the one that installed an app?

Yes, I wish Google would fix that.
