That is an invalid version and not much we can do about it 🤔

Getting the same issue with devscripts:

Invalid version: '2.22.1ubuntu1' (package: devscripts)

I can't even target specific packages using pipdeptree -r -p <pkg>...

Perhaps packages with an invalid versions could be skipped with a warning?

Perhaps Ubuntu could use valid python versions instead?
