I encounter the problem in case hands-on is needed.
I could deliver a proxmox-backup from a lxc container that has this issue.

Unfortunately I'm very limited in time currently, so not sure when I'll be able to fix this.

Might he some package having rc or starting with 0 for version. Basically, it couldn't identify version difference correctly.

If you could print both sides of version numbers before this line, we could have samples

The issue is with procps version 2:3.3.16-1. The issue is fixed in 2:3.3.16-5. Find your version with dpkg -l procps.

Hi

I've done this way (on a flavour of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS ( KDE neon User Edition 5.2 or https://www.linuxfx.org/)
after checking procps (sudo dpkg -l procps)
I made new ones from https://github.com/warmchang/procps.git
and FireMotD does not complain anymore about this error:

/usr/local/bin/FireMotD: line 149: ((: 10#3 > 10#UNKNOWN: value too great for base (error token is "10#UNKNOWN")
/usr/local/bin/FireMotD: line 153: ((: 10#3 < 10#UNKNOWN: value too great for base (error token is "10#UNKNOWN")

Ciao
