builtins.ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 3)

The CI had a non-standard versioning scheme like the following:

2.4.0+6981.g011e51b+ci-0ubuntu1

On 2.3, with the same format, it would register correctly. This issue is due to commit:

 7df0631dae844d7fc67913882f1036e2c97c8744 / LP: #1770126 .
