Package: apt
Version: 0.9.16.1
File: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal
I noticed a warning from dpkg while installing a locally built kernel:
,----
| Examining /etc/kernel/postinst.d.
| run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal
3.14.0-rc7-nouveau /boot/vmlinuz-3.14.0-rc7-nouveau
| dpkg: warning: version 'amd64' has bad syntax: version number does not start
with digit
`----
AFAICT this warning comes from "dpkg --compare-versions" and is
triggered by the linux-image-amd64 metapackage which I have installed.
The patch below should avoid the warning by not acting on such
metapackages, but I haven't checked possible side effects.
