Please proceed as I suggested before (debsums, depmod, etc.). If the
package state is OK then feel free to open a bug report (with
reportbug utility).

It's just an arbitrary version string. It can be (almost) anything, even
1.2.3.myCuteVersion-10.9.8.

fully i686 compatible. If the installation is damaged somehow (see
above) then switching to another kernel might make the problem
disappear.
