package ulogd-1.24-3ubuntu3 is showing version 1.23

[Guillaume FRANCOIS]

Notice: as ulogd1.23 had security flow, I put flag security issue on but not sure about relevancy.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (Precise Pangolin) fully up-to-date.

I had install package ulogd 1.24-3ubuntu3 but when running "ulogd -v" it shows "version 1.23"

Please correct the binaries to use/display the version 1.24
(upgrading to ulogd2.x should be take into account as 1.X is end-of-life).

More info is available at the end of the message

Regards,
Guillaume

Description: The Netfilter Userspace Logging Daemon
 ulogd is a daemon that listens for Netlink packets generated by iptables's
 ULOG target. Basically, it's a replacement for syslog for logging packets,
 and does a much better job - it logs to files, pcap files, MySQL, PostgreSQL,
 SQLite 3 and soon will be able to log remotely.
 .
 MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite 3 support is in separate packages, called
 ulogd-mysql, ulogd-pgsql and ulogd-sqlite3 respectively. pcap file support
 is in package called ulogd-pcap.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Upgraded to From precise to Quantal and it still display the same 1.23 instead of 1.24
