[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#271047: libasound2-dev: Mismatch in debian package version and header files

[Bob Tanner]

Package: libasound2-dev
Version: 1.0.5-1
Severity: normal

Upstream version is 1.0.5, as shown in the policy:

$ apt-cache policy libasound2-dev
libasound2-dev:
  Installed: 1.0.5-1
  Candidate: 1.0.5-1

BUT the version.h file says it's 1.0.4:

$ pwd
/usr/include/alsa
$ tail version.h
#define SND_LIB_MINOR           0 /**< minor number of library version */
#define SND_LIB_SUBMINOR        4 /**< subminor number of library version */
#define SND_LIB_EXTRAVER        1000000 /**< extra version number, used mainly
for betas */
/** library version */
#define SND_LIB_VERSION         ((SND_LIB_MAJOR<<16)|\
                                 (SND_LIB_MINOR<<8)|\
                                  SND_LIB_SUBMINOR)
/** library version (string) */
#define SND_LIB_VERSION_STR     "1.0.4"


$ dpkg -S /usr/include/alsa/version.h
libasound2-dev: /usr/include/alsa/version.h
