Warning(?) from git-remote-https with Julia 1.7

[GunnarFarneback]

On Julia 1.7 I'm getting this somewhat scary and at least annoying output when running a git clone:

/tmp/testdepot/artifacts/33c5e3a13ad6427f86436f577c0edce1e468ac80/libexec/git-core/git-remote-https: /home/gunnar/julia1.7/bin/../lib/julia/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by /tmp/testdepot/artifacts/33c5e3a13ad6427f86436f577c0edce1e468ac80/libexec/git-core/git-remote-https)

The command seems successful though.

Complete reproducer (Ubuntu 20.04):

$ mkdir /tmp/testdepot

It's a harmless warning, which should have been fixed by JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil#3219. Maybe that build didn't make it to Julia v1.7?

[GunnarFarneback]

Good to know it's annoying only. I'll see if I can find out why this is different on 1.7.

[GunnarFarneback]

It looks like the last update in Julia 1.7 was JuliaLang/julia#39625, which predates that fix. But why doesn't this happen on 1.6?

[giordano]

This is fixed in recent versions of Julia (definitely 1.8.5).
