Incorrect version number of thinkfan in binary vs. package manager

Asked by Hai NGUYEN VAN

I have installed the thinkfan package from the official Ubuntu Xenial repositories. APT package manager clearly shows:

$ apt-cache policy thinkfan
thinkfan:
  Installed: 0.9.2-1
  Candidate: 0.9.2-1
  Version table:
 *** 0.9.2-1 500
        500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

However, the binary differs:

$ thinkfan -h
thinkfan 0.9.1: A minimalist fan control program
...

Inside the source of thinkfan, file globaldefs.h. I see

#define VERSION "0.9.1"

This should be reported via the bug tracker.

In fact this version difference seems to be present also in the original source https://sourceforge.net/projects/thinkfan/files/
