The error is explicit. Something, somewhere, uses a package version
"package." and versions are not allowed to start with a letter, they must
start with a digit.

Try looking into shlibs and symbols files in particular. I was unable to
find anything in "precise"... so it must be something specific to your daily
build environment.

Try running dpkg-shlibdeps in verbose mode (-v -v) to have a better idea
where this is found.
