Looks like regression in dpkg-maintscript-helper: quotation marks were passed to dpkg --validate-version. C.f. # dpkg --validate-version -- "1:5.15-1" # dpkg --validate-version -- "1:5.15-1~" vs # dpkg --validate-version -- '"1:5.15-1~"' dpkg: error: version '"1:5.15-1~"' has bad syntax: epoch in version is empty Probably, this could be solved on the monit side by changing mv_conffile /etc/monit/monitrc.d/acpid /etc/monit/conf-available/acpid "1:5.15-1~" to mv_conffile /etc/monit/monitrc.d/acpid /etc/monit/conf-available/acpid 1:5.15-1~
