smokeping package

Clarify the version: Smokeping 2.3.6 or 2.003006?

Asked by Stefan Lasiewski

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.1:

$ lsb_release -d
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS

I just installed Smokeping. According to http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/smokeping , this should be smokeping version 2.3.6-3)

However, the version number listed by the smokeping binary says it's 2.00 something:

$ smokeping --version
2.003006

I'm confused. Does smokeping version 2.003006 really refer to version 2.3.6-3 ?

$ apt-cache policy smokeping
smokeping:
  Installed: 2.3.6-5
  Candidate: 2.3.6-5
  Version table:
 *** 2.3.6-5 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

So, it appears that I have Smokeping 2.3.6 installed.

"2.003006" is the internal version number used by Smokeping, and looks equal to "2.3.6".
