OK. When I do "apt-get source findutils" I get a "findutils_4.6.0+git+20170828-2.debian.tar.xz" file that does include two patches, but neither of them seems to be relevant to this issue. The "findutils_4.6.0+git+20170828.orig.tar.xz" file I get from the same apt-get command unpacks to a "findutils-4.7.0-gitfindutils-4.7.0-git" directory. I just built findutils revision febde26dd0e66dda5d4060fa29b85443ddc6a865 from source, and the resulting "find" command does print "find (GNU findutils) 4.7.0-git" when invoked with "--version". So it seems to be an upstream issue. "info findutils", which loads /usr/share/info/find.info.gz, also reports version 4.7.0-git. Whatever the cause, I suggest that "4.7.0-git" is misleading, since release 4.7.0 did not yet exist. I could submit a bug report against the upstream findutils component. Should I do so? (To be clear, I'm not saying this is a major, or even necessarily significant, problem.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1842133 Title: findutils shows wrong version number To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/findutils/+bug/1842133/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
