[Bug 779968] Re: dpkg: error: version 'nis_3.17-18' has bad syntax: version number does not start with digit

[Serge Hallyn]

Thanks for taking the time to submit this bug.

I tried this by creating a fresh 11.04 container, and doing

   apt-get install nis

but could reproduce no error.  Could you tell us the exact command you
used, and post the contents of /var/log/dpkg.log and
/var/log/apt/term.log?
