Package: bibutils Version: 4.12-2 Severity: normal The --version option does not display anything useful :
pillot@ataz [2502] ~ bib2xml --version bib2xml, bibutils suite version date Here is what is displayed on a machine running stable (hence with bibutils 4.8-1) : pillot@uc24:~$ bib2xml --version bib2xml, bibutils suite version 4.8 date 2/2/10 Incidentally, this breaks some Plone product I'm using (CMFBibliographyAT) which uses the output of the command to check for compatibility. In this precise case, the workaround is not hard to find, but I fear this might not be the case in other circumstances. Compiling the source package grabbed from upstream site works right : pillot@ataz [2539] /tmp/bibutils_4.12-upstream ./bin/bib2xml --version bib2xml, bibutils suite version 4.12 date 10/10/10 Original sources as carried by bibutils_4.12.orig.tar.gz, once compiled by hand, do work normally, too : pillot@ataz [2561] /tmp/bibutils_4.12 ./bin/bib2xml --version bib2xml, bibutils suite version 4.12 date 10/10/10 I don't know debian build system enough to understand why VERSION and DATE are not set or passed correctly at build time, sorry. FWIW, I'm using the standard wheezy gcc (4:4.6.0-5).
