Bug Description

[Impact]

 * On each upgrade there is an attempt to remove bogus directory which has been gone since 1.34.0-0ubuntu8.1, thus the guard to remove the directory should use the correct version number for xenial, i.e. 1.34.0-0ubuntu8.1 not 1.34.0-0ubuntu10.

 * as per infinity, the version check is wrong firing on every upgrade.

[Test Case]

 * install s390-tools from updates
 * upgrade to this new version from proposed
 * during this upgrade one should not see error message from rmdir

Setting up s390-tools (1.34.0-0ubuntu8.5) ...
rmdir: failed to remove '/3770': No such file or directory

[Regression Potential]

 * This is a fixup of a typo in version check, it is a cosmetic change to make sure pointless warnings are not shown. There is little harm in trying to remove the bogus/gone directory. And even less harm in stopping to try to remove it going further.

Upgrading 8 -> 8.4 removes the stray directory. Reinstalling 8.4 shows the warning. (Original bug is reproduced)

Upgrading 8.4 -> 8.5 is without warnings, reinstalling 8.5 shows no warnings. (Confirms that 8.5 fixes this bug)

Upgrading s390-tools 1.34.0-0ubuntu8 -> 1.34.0-0ubuntu8.5 removes the stray /3770 dir.
Reinstalling 1.34.0-0ubuntu8.5 does not have any warnings. (Confirming that cleanup of stray /3770 directory since 16.04.0 has not regressed, aka 8.1 test-case)
