[Test Plan] 1) Create a Focal (or derived from Focal) system. 2) Execute "ps --version" or any of the binaries provided by the package with their respective version flags. 3) Instead of desired output of the version, the output is: the invoked binary name followed by "from procps-ng UNKNOWN" Example: "ps from procps-ng UNKNOWN" [Where problems could occur] * This fix could cause issues if applications have come to depend on the incorrect behavior. IE, an application that uses a version string of "UNKNOWN" as part of a heuristic for identifying a Focal system. * If the version of procps-ng is incremented, this patch would need to be updated or removed if it is no longer relevant. Otherwise, an incorrect version would be reported by the binaries. [Other Info] * This change is in Groovy+ and Debian packaging with the same version of procps-ng. - Introduced in procps (2:3.3.16-5) unstable in Debian. [Original Description] From Linux Lint 20.1, so Focal Fossa 20.04.1 Package procps 2:3.3.16-1ubuntu2 $ LANG=C ps --version ps from procps-ng UNKNOWN I don't know if it comes from Ubuntu or upstream.
