Description

Latest package version fetching regex fix - Package resource

Based on below comment by @myii

This doesn't handle certain version numbers, resulting in a Malformed version number string error, such as:

×  DHCPD package: should be installed
   ×  System Package dhcp is expected to be installed
   Malformed version number string 4.4.2.

In this example, the problem is the trailing period (4.4.2. vs. 4.4.2).

Here are 5 such failures when running our weekly CI testing across a number of repos in our org:

Platform	Package	Version	Malformed version number string
Debian 10	bind	1:9.11.5.P4+dfsg-5.1+deb10u6	9.11.5.
Arch	dhcp	4.4.2.P1-4	4.4.2.
Debian 9	powerdns	4.5.0+master.0.g2717eea26-1pdns.stretch	r.0.g2717
Debian 10	powerdns	4.7.0~alpha0+master.182.g8d0ac5936-1pdns.buster	r.182.g8
Debian 11	powerdns	4.7.0~alpha0+master.182.g8d0ac5936-1pdns.bullseye	r.182.g8

This definitely appears to be working better:

This highlights the problem with the current implementation (as mentioned in #5771 (comment)):
