contents In this study we investigate the growth index $γ_L$, which characterizes the growth of linear matter perturbations, while analysing different cosmological datasets. We compare the approaches implemented by two different patches of the cosmological solver CAMB: MGCAMB and CAMB_GammaPrime_Growth. In our analysis we uncover a deviation of the growth index from its expected $Λ$CDM value of $0.55$ when utilizing the Planck dataset, both in the MGCAMB case and in the CAMB_GammaPrime_Growth case, but in opposite directions. This deviation is accompanied by a change in the direction of correlations with derived cosmological parameters. However, the incorporation of CMB lensing data helps reconcile $γ_L$ with its $Λ$CDM value in both cases. Conversely, the alternative ground-based telescopes ACT and SPT consistently yield growth index values in agreement with $γ_L=0.55$. We conclude that the presence of the A$_{\mathrm{lens}}$ problem in the Planck dataset contributes to the observed deviations, underscoring the importance of additional datasets in resolving these discrepancies.
