I hope I'm understanding this correctly (AND that I maintained proper
quote attributions, grin). I JUST encountered that one aspect there
two nights ago (AGAIN). It's complaining that we're just supposed to
use the base package name, NOT the whole long version/release number
up to and including the dotDEB part.
My latest encounter with it was with dpkg. When I installed a package
(on a different operating system), it was "dpkg -i
wvdial[version].deb". When I decided to try and purge, that's when I
received something similar to yours here:

That's when the little 4-watt light bulb went off overhead for me
(AGAIN for the umpteenth time). :)
