[Duplicity-talk] duplicity -V prints duplicity $version

[Markus Schönhaber]

Hello,

I downloaded the v1.2.2 tarball of duplicity from the gitlab releases 
page[1] to a Debian 11 system. After doing

# python3 setup.py install

the version number printed by duplicity isn't what I'd expect:

# duplicity -V
duplicity $version

AFAICT in both man pages setup.py installs, the version number is set 
correctly but in the package's __init_.py[2] it isn't.

Am I doing something wrong?
How to fix the version number? Manually edit the installed __init__.py?
