Looks like you have another executable called 'bpkg' in your path
(most likely this[1]). Try running:

$ which bpkg
$ bpkg --version

If you installed build2 into /usr/local (which is the default),
then you should be able to fix this by adding /usr/local/bin to
the beginning of your PATH:

$ export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Of course, an even simpler fix is to uninstall the other bpkg if
you don't need it.
