Hmm... I just downgraded to 1.5 and it seems to work. jq just has 2 numbers in its versioning[1]. The other number must be from your distribution's package building. Maybe the issue is with something your distribution did while building the package (like adding a patch)? It might also be that the syntax error is not with the script, but with the JSON you input. Sorry, without being able to reproduce the error, I can't help more. [1] https://github.com/stedolan/jq/releases https://github.com/stedolan/jq/releases
