What irritates me is the "git" in the version string in your screenshot.
Have you you enabled some PPA, maybe even a PPA offering fresh nightly builds every day, on your system perhaps?
This might account for any problem and the frequent updates.

Re: Mesa Multiple Updates
Hello, MrGrimm.
Found this hint on the Launchpad page of the PPA "ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers":
Also wonder why you added this PPA. Any reason to assume the mesa-va-drivers from the official Ubuntu 18.04 repositories would not be sufficient?
Best regards,
Karl
