Package: lcov Version: 2.4-3 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I spotted this bug using Ubuntu 26.04 but after browsing Ubuntu and Debian packages I believe the source of the problem is in Debian. I was able to confirm it also in Debian. For both, I use docker: docker run -it ubuntu:26.04 docker run -ir debian:forky I install lcov and the apt reports to install version 2.4-3, it is also visible in the package search engine for both Debian and Ubuntu. But calling lcov --version shows on both: $ lcov --version lcov: LCOV version 2.0-1 and also: $ dpkg-query -W lcov lcov 2.4-3 On my Gentoo with lcov-2.4 it displays properly 2.4: $ lcov --version lcov: LCOV version 2.4-0 When I downloaded the sources from lcov github page, .version file shows: VERSION=2.4 RELEASE=0 but for the one downloaded from Debian Search Package engine (lcov-2.4.orig.tar.gz), which seems to be repacked (I don't use Debian daily and don't know in details what is happening with source packages), it shows: VERSION=1.14 RELEASE=1 FULL=1.14 which is even more confusing, why 1.14 and not 2.0. For the original lcov-1.14 package from github, it indeed shows: VERSION=1.14 RELEASE=1 FULL=1.14 But files size, Makefile, in the sources between upstream sources and Debian sources do not match between 1.14, 2.0, 2.4. Also, this: grep "our \$VERSION" /usr/lib/lcov/lcovutil.pm our $VERSION = "2.0-1"; It is all confusing. Can it be that when the sources were repacked (are they repacked?) were somehow messed?
