omd cleanup failed to uninstall Checkmk packages on Debian-based systems where dpkg reported warnings about missing files-list entries. This would result in the following error.

# omd -v cleanup
Executing: dpkg -S /opt/omd/versions/2.4.0p17.cee
2.4.0p17.cee         Uninstalling
Executing: apt-get -y purge dpkg-query

This regression was introduced alongside the edition renaming.
