New issue by haemka on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/22006

Description:
# System

* xuname:
   `Void 5.6.11_1 x86_64 AuthenticAMD uptodate rrrmFFFF`
* package:  
  xdotool 3.20160805.1_2

### Expected behavior
`xdotool -v` should report correct version (currently `3.20160805.1`)

### Actual behavior
`xdotool -v` reports `xdotool version 3.20191225.1`

### Steps to reproduce the behavior
Run `xdotool -v`

### Explanation
The upstream repository of xdotool contains multiple release archives which differ slightly ([1](https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool/releases/download/v3.20160805.1/xdotool-3.20160805.1.tar.gz) and [2](https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool/archive/v3.20160805.1.tar.gz))

The link for archive 2 is used in the srcpkgs template, but this archive is missing the `VERSION` file, which is read by `version.sh` called from ` Makefile`. By changing the archive download link in the packages template and rebuilding the package xdotool shows the correct version.
