8.5.2 FP3 released

Earlier this week IBM released Notes/Domino 8.5.2 FP3.  Its works well under Windows 7, hwever Under Linux (Ubuntu 10.10) it fails just after it starts with the following error message:

dpkg: error processing /home/nick/DownloadDirector/Notes 8.5.2 Gold/8.5.2 FP3/Ubuntu/ibm_lotus_notes_fixpack-8.5.2.i586.deb (--install):
 parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/control' near line 2 package 'ibm-lotus-notes-fixpack': error in Version string '8.5.2-20110711.1400_FP3': invalid character in revision number

IBM just cant get the installs and FP installs for Ubuntu right, every one since 8.5.1 has had issues.  Come on IBM get your Linux act together and start getting this right.

I am told that this error is a real error and need to be reported.  Anyone come across this before?
