Just cloned the repository from GH (commit e5251bc5a0d5382c64e3751953e4f38fb67633e1) and the build fails with the above mentioned error.

I am on Debian testing amd64.

The command and output is

```auto
$ ./gradlew assemble
=======================================
Elasticsearch Build Hamster says Hello!

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Invalid version format: '20.10.8+dfsg1'. Should be major.minor.revision[-extra]

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

BUILD FAILED in 52s

```

The version number complaint refers to the docker package:

```auto
$ dpkg -l |grep '20.10.8'
ii docker.io 20.10.8+dfsg1-1 amd64 Linux container runtime

```

What do you suggest to get Elasticsearch building ?

Just FYI, it has been fixed yesterday: [Support additional version schemes in relaxed mode by mark-vieira · Pull Request #81010 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/81010)
