protobuf_version.bzl missing from v3.19.0 source archive

[SanjayVas]

What version of protobuf and what language are you using?
Version: 3.19.0
Language: Java/Kotlin

What operating system (Linux, Windows, ...) and version?
Linux (Debian Bookworm)

What runtime / compiler are you using (e.g., python version or gcc version)
Bazel + OpenJDK11 + Clang 11.1.0

What did you do?

1. Update http_archive rule named com_google_protobuf in my Bazel WORKSPACE to point to protobuf v3.19.0 source archive (https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/download/v3.19.0/protobuf-all-3.19.0.tar.gz)
2. Attempt to build target with label @com_google_protobuf//:protobuf_java using bazel build command.

What did you expect to see
Build completes successfully.

What did you see instead?

Build fails with the following error snippet:

error loading package '@com_google_protobuf//java/core': cannot load '@com_google_protobuf//:protobuf_version.bzl': no such file and referenced by '@com_google_protobuf//:protobuf_java'

I looked inside the source archive for that release and it appears that indeed protobuf_version.bzl is missing.

Thank you for the bug report. #9131 should fix this and then I'll make sure the fix is reflected in 3.19.1.
