[Bug 1460389] [NEW] Version number mismatches: 2.0 beta but actually 1.8.6

[Kai-Chung Yan]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu distribution: 15.04 Vivid
Package version: 2.0.0~beta2+isreally1.8.6-4ubuntu1

I am an Gradle maintainer in Debian and I am currently updating the
"gradle" package. The Debian source package of "gradle" has build
conflicts in groovy >= 2.0.0~, and in Ubuntu this causes error when
building the package.

As the version tells, the version is actually 1.8.6-4ubuntu1, but why is
it the case? Why is it not simply 1.8.6-4ubuntu1? Since there is already
an "groovy2" package and the "groovy" package should remain version 1.x.
I demand that the version of  the "gradle" package returns to 1.8.6.
