Public bug reported:
After running "apt-get upgrade" with a new kernel (3.2.0-64) being
installed, I get the following output:
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
dpkg: error: --compare-versions takes three arguments: <version> <relation>
<version>
Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*];
Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;
Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' !

Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done
This is repeatable by running "update-grub" (and not dependant on the
current locale as I used "LANG=C update-grub".
The error seems to happen in the debconf frontend, as the error occurs
after running this bit:
root@root:~# bash -x update-grub
+ set -e
+ . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
++ '[' '!' '' ']'
++ PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1
++ export PERL_DL_NONLAZY
++ '[' '' ']'
++ exec /usr/share/debconf/frontend update-grub
(...)
