lcov Version Reporting Bug

Issue: The lcov --version command reports an incorrect version string that doesn't match the installed package version.

Evidence:

Host system (Debian 13.2):

  • Package version: lcov 2.3.1-1
  • Binary reports: lcov: LCOV version 2.0-1

Debian 13.2 container:

  • Package version: lcov 2.3.1-1
  • Binary reports: lcov: LCOV version 2.0-1

Ubuntu 24.04 (GitHub runners):

  • Package version: lcov 2.0-4ubuntu2
  • Binary reports: lcov: LCOV version 2.0-1

Root cause: The version string is hardcoded in /usr/lib/lcov/lcovutil.pm:

our $VERSION = "2.0-1";

This hardcoded value is not updated when the package version changes.

Impact:

  • Cannot rely on lcov --version to determine actual lcov version
  • Must use dpkg -l lcov (Debian/Ubuntu) to get true package version
  • Scripts that check lcov version via --version may make incorrect decisions

Workaround: Use package manager to check version instead of binary:

dpkg -l lcov | grep lcov  # Shows actual package version

Status: This appears to be an upstream packaging issue in Debian lcov 2.3.1-1.
