Bug#1061296: syncthing version is treated as beta
After noticing Kali Linux has a fresh version of syncthing, and also it bricks Kubuntu's install by upgrading the users config file version from 35 to 37, you can see that I had to manually upgrade syncthing myself documented over at: https://forum.syncthing.net/t/warning-failed-to-initialize-config-config-file-version-37-is-newer-than-supported-version-35-if-this-is-expected-use-allow-newer-config-to-override/22250 *I used this command to un-brick syncthing by overwriting the fresh copy from KALI LINUX:* rm /usr/bin/syncthing cp -f /media/tom/kali/usr/bin/syncthing /usr/bin/syncthing Syncthing is fine, no bugs, no idea why you woni't refresh the default Kubuntu repo (oops I mean Debian stable). In fact it is pretty urgent now.

This might have unintended consequences. It most definitely does - it enabled deadlock detection (was removed recently) and usage-reporting. I thought that was fixed a while ago and when building in debian, you pass `-version not. That's the way to go though for the best experience/expected behaviour: Full debian version for the package and upstream version for the build script.

This might have unintended consequences.
