just to expand on that a little, my theory is that
"2.2.4-47978_Ubuntu_jaunty" contains invalid characters, possibly
expecting it to be numeric, although adding -ubuntuX to a version
number is standard practice for Ubuntu patched Debian packages. This
is old stuff anyway and it is possible that since then the package
revision number validation rules have changed.
