Thanks for taking the time to submit this bug. I tried this by creating a fresh 11.04 container, and doing apt-get install nis but could reproduce no error. Could you tell us the exact command you used, and post the contents of /var/log/dpkg.log and /var/log/apt/term.log? ** Changed in: nis (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to nis in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779968 Title: dpkg: error: version 'nis_3.17-18' has bad syntax: version number does not start with digit -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
