## The problem is the package\_version\_file name was not valid!

This works better:

```auto
bash-5.2$ !tree
tree stagedir/lib/
stagedir/lib/
├── cmake
│ └── beman.exemplar
│ ├── beman.exemplar-config-version.cmake
│ ├── beman.exemplar-config.cmake
│ ├── beman.exemplar-targets-relwithdebinfo.cmake
│ └── beman.exemplar-targets.cmake
└── libbeman.exemplar.a

3 directories, 5 files
bash-5.2$ 

```

**IMHO** : The possible valid names are not so easy to find in the documentation as it should!

see [CMakePackageConfigHelpers](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/CMakePackageConfigHelpers.html#generating-a-package-version-file)  
and [PackageVersionFile](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-packages.7.html#package-version-file)
