Package: dkms
Version: 2.3-1
Severity: normal
Hi!
When doing any package installation that involves dkms building new modules,
I get the following message:
dpkg: warning: version '4.8.15+
4.9.0-debug3+' has bad syntax: invalid character in version number
dpkg: warning: version '4.8.15+
4.9.0-debug3+' has bad syntax: invalid character in version number
As you can see, both version numbers are concatenated with a \n in between.
