Package: dpkg Version: dpkg_1.15.8_amd64.deb Severity: normal I'm aware of the fact that running the Lenny version of Oracle's VB package under sid is not supported.
Hell, I'm supprised it even works. Upgrading dpkg fails due to having it installed, however. I'm concerned about the potential for Lenny --> Squeeze upgrade failures for people with this package installed under Lenny. Here is the error: Preparing to replace dpkg 1.15.7.2 (using .../archives/dpkg_1.15.8_amd64.deb) ... Unpacking replacement dpkg ... Processing triggers for man-db ... dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 60680 package 'virtualbox-3.0': error in Version string `3.0.12-54655_Debian_lenny': invalid character in revision number E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) A package failed to install.
