If you have the problem only with the available file, run sudo dpkg
--clear-avail and you'll be done.
Otherwise report the problems to the persons who provided those packages
with bad versions. No package in Debian and Ubuntu use such versions.
But this is not a bug in dpkg, closing the report.

As this seems to be only warnings and dont have sad effect, i let this
"available" package without change, to see how this issue will be
managed. In case of more serious problem i will remove the faulty
packages of course. Strangely other users have not reported this warning
and i doubt i'm alone w
Sorry, sometimes I need to see it to believe it. No one can deny
'3.3.0-1ubuntu9' starts with a digit. Though it still puzzles me that
the warnings mention 'libxen3.2' and not 'libxen3' (which is 3.3.0 and
replaces the old 'libxen3.2').
Since you don't have the packages installed, it should be no
hi,
i've opened "available" with "gksu gedit" and used the "search" field to locate
these packages; i'm not an aptitude fan, only use apt-get and synaptic.

EDIT:
But when I run 'aptitude show libxen3' I do get info about 'libxen3', because
'aptitude' doesn't look in '/var/lib/dpkg/available'

As far as I can tell the entries in '/var/lib/dpkg/available' are added
as you install packages and the entries remain there even if you
uninstall the package.
Did you actually look in '/var/lib/dpkg/available' with e text editor or
with, for example, 'cat /var/lib/dpkg/available | grep -A 11 "Pac

The packages don't need to be installed to be listed in
'/var/lib/dpkg/available'. The 'ffmpeg' and 'qt-faststart' packages
where still listed after I purged them. I also don't think it has
anything to do with dependencies. For some reason the version checking
has been set more strict last week (do
Have made similar search about libxen3 and cant see this "dont start by
digit". Looking at dependencies and dependants, none is installed.

I got the "version number does not start with digit" warning with 2
other packages, ffmpeg and qt-faststart. After looking at
