It is a C program written specifically for some 
LoRaWan work. Unfortunately the original author is 
no longer available although we have not exhausted 
all efforts just yet. I don't know what version it 
is based on. The only clue in in the file is that 
it is based on liblz4 and that the the include 
files are lz4.h and lz4hc.h. This looks like the 
one on GitHub (https://github.com/lz4/lz4) and 
lz4.org. I did a build and it created the lib file 
liblz4.so.1.9.2. I will try this on out and see 
how it works.

The odd thing is why is apt is considering it up 
to date.

Thanks for the help,

Mark
