Bug#718561: pbuilder: Can't build lucid when running linux-image-3.9-1-amd64

[Haojun Bao]

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.215
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm running linux-image-3.9-1-amd64, and pbuilder won't work for lucid
anymore. The error output is:

    Selecting previously deselected package libc6.
    (Reading database ... 344 files and directories currently installed.)
    Unpacking libc6 (from .../libc6_2.11.1-0ubuntu7_i386.deb) ...
    [: 399: Illegal number: 3.9-1-amd64
    /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: 399: arithmetic expression: expecting EOF: "3.9-1-amd64"
    dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.11.1-0ubuntu7_i386.deb (--install):
     subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 2
    Errors were encountered while processing:
     /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.11.1-0ubuntu7_i386.deb

Any suggestions? Older kernel versions like 3.2.0 don't have this
problem.
