Bug Description
Whilst performing an upgrade from 11.04 -> 11.10, I saw this message fly by the upgrade terminal:
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
dpkg: error: version '2.6.38.
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.
My machine has both Windows 7 and Fedora 15 co-installed (and it can boot any of them) from the grub menu.

This is a side-effect of using dpkg --compare-versions to compare kernel versions, and dpkg prints the (harmless, but I admit, a bit scary) warning because it's generally used to compare package versions (where underscore is an illegal character in .deb versions).
I've committed a fix upstream[1] for this, and it should find its way into the latest Ubuntu devel release soon enough.
