re: dpkg: warning: version '/boot/xen.gz' has bad syntax: version number does not start with digit

[Pry Mar <pryorm09@xxxxxxxxx>]

These notes are from the Almalinux el9 mock build.

ls -al   ../BUILD/xen-4.16.2/xen/ | awk '{print $9}'
xen
xen.efi
xen.efi.map
xen.gz
xen-syms
xen-syms.map
xsm

After install it looks like this (DESTDIR=dist/install):
../BUILD/xen-4.16.2/dist/install/boot/
├── efi
│   └── EFI
│       └── almalinux
│           ├── xen-4.16.efi
│           └── xen-4.16-xsm.efi
├── kcfg
│   ├── xen-4.16.config
│   └── xen-4.16-xsm.config
├── xen-4.16.gz
├── xen-4.16-xsm.gz
└── xenpolicy-4.16.2

4 directories, 7 files

so you can see I added the version during the copy.

cheers,
