These are all warning messages; they're showing because
libdevmapper-dev and olwm are not valid source package names (or at
least, the BTS doesn't have versioning information for them), and the
code warns you about it. [You can easily disable it by using local
$SIG{__WARN__}; or similar, but in general it means that a bug is
wrong and should be fixed. As I see them myself I usually go and fix
them, but I'm lazy.]

Because someone gave a fully qualified version (or the BTS was broken
when an unqualified version was given.)
bts notfixed 237453 2:1.01.00-4 , fixed 237453 2:1.01.00-4 ; [sent
under separate cover] would resolve this.
