rdiff-backup: returns '$version' and not the actual version

[chrisgraf]

Package: rdiff-backup Version: 1.3.3-1 Depends: libc, libssp, librt, libpthread, python, librsync, openssl-util Status: install user installed Architecture: x86-64 Installed-Time: 1484847754

• expected behavior: 'rdiff-backup --version' should return the version of the program
• actual behavior: 'rdiff-backup --version' returns '$version'

This is important to fix, because using rdiff-backup remotely compares both versions using the version string. The error msg I get is: " Server may work, but there is a version mismatch: Local version: 1.3.3 Remote version: $version

In general, an attempt is made to guarantee compatibility only between different minor versions of the same stable series. For instance, you should expect 0.12.4 and 0.12.7 to be compatible, but not 0.12.7 and 0.13.3, nor 0.13.2 and 0.13.4.

Warning: Local version 1.3.3 does not match remote version $version. "
