[Bug 802985] Re: [lucid] /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: 399: arithmetic expression: expecting EOF: "3.0-0-generic"

[Kev]

I did just run into this issue while creating an LXC container with
ubuntu 10.04 LTS in arch linux:

Unpacking libc6 (from .../libc6_2.11.1-0ubuntu7_amd64.deb) ...
[: 399: Illegal number: 3.0-ARCH
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: 399: arithmetic expression: expecting EOF: "3.0-ARCH"
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.11.1-0ubuntu7_amd64.deb (--install):
 subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 2

That means that I can't use lucid in the container at the moment which really is a big bummer.
A solution must be found. Now.

Any suggests?
