Well my synaptic (on 22.10) shows all the above *plus* just gnumeric.
They're all at version 1.12.

... and i've just looked at my server which is running 22.04 and I see
basically the same:-

    chris at esprimo$ apt search gnumeric

So there's something confusing your system I think.  I do find sometimes that
synaptic's search works a little oddly.
