Bug Description
```
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Release: 18.04
```
***
```
$ apt-cache policy advancecomp
advancecomp:
Installed: 2.1-1
Candidate: 2.1-1
Version table:
*** 2.1-1 500
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
1.20-1 500
500 http://
```
***
When running `advpng --version` its output does not provide the version of the utility. Instead it reports it as "vnone". Example:
```
$ advpng --version
advancecomp vnone by Andrea Mazzoleni, http://
```
I expect it to return "v2.1-1". A la -
```
advancecomp v2.1-1 by Andrea Mazzoleni, http://
```
After some looking around it seems that maybe the wrong archive is fetched before building it. Possibly https:/
Instead it should be https:/
This is all information gleaned from the image_optim project where there is more information in an issue there: https:/
Much thanks to Ivan Kuchin and Kasper Grubbe over there helping track this down.

I can confirm that advancecomp 2.1-1 reports version "vnone" on Ubuntu Cosmic as well.
