Public bug reported:
Some packages from ubuntu 14.04 have version numbers that when compared to
those in 16.04 are considered "higher".
E.g.:
ubuntu 14.04: libdrm2 2.4.67-1ubuntu0.14.04.1
ubuntu 16.04: libdrm2 2.4.67-1
When upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04 these packages are not upgraded (and
won't be upgraded later either) because ubuntu thinks
"2.4.67-1ubuntu0.14.04.1" is greater than "2.4.67-1".
This causes problem when trying to install their i386 counterpart (on
16.04) because the i386 version wouldn't match the amd64 one already
installed.
The same problem applies to libdrm-intel1, libdrm-radeon1, libdrm-
nouveau2, libdrm-amdgpu1, libdrm-dev, libuv1. This list is not
exhaustive.
