Package: apt Version: 1.0.9.10 Severity: important Firstly, the script is currently not stripping the architecture from names of foreign kernel packages, so I get these error messages:
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal: dpkg: error: version '3.16.0-4-amd64:amd64' has bad syntax: epoch in version is not number dpkg: error: version '3.16.0-4-amd64:amd64' has bad syntax: epoch in version is not number dpkg: error: version '3.2.0-4-amd64:amd64' has bad syntax: epoch in version is not number dpkg: error: version '3.2.0-4-amd64:amd64' has bad syntax: epoch in version is not number dpkg: error: version '4.0.0-1-amd64:amd64' has bad syntax: epoch in version is not number dpkg: error: version '4.0.0-1-amd64:amd64' has bad syntax: epoch in version is not number Secondly, version comparisons between kernel release strings should be done using the linux-version command from linux-base, not dpkg. dpkg does not know that e.g. 4.1-rc6 comes before 4.1.
