Bingo: https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-10.3/blob/master/debian/mariadb-server-10.3.preinst # Automatically set version to ease maintenance of this file. # Assume the filename is /path/to/mariadb-server-##.#.preinst # Pick version string based on location. Python equivalent would be x[-12:-8]. VERSION=${0: -12:4} This look hacky. Could this assumption be false? $ ls -l debian-*.flag -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 25 10:09 debian-10.3.flag -- Olaf
