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.
