With python 3, when a package has a version number x-y-z instead of
x.y.z, then the version returned by LooseVersion can't be compared
which raises a TypeError exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./support/scripts/pkg-stats", line 1062, in <module>

if pkg_name in packages and cve.affects(packages[pkg_name]):
File "./support/scripts/pkg-stats", line 386, in affects
return pkg_version <= cve_affected_version

File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/distutils/version.py", line 337, in _cmp
if self.version < other.version:
TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int'
This patch handles this exception by adding a new return value when
the comparison can't be done. The code is adjusted to take of this
change. For now, a return value of CVE_UNKNOWN is handled the same way
as a CVE_DOESNT_AFFECT return value, but this can be improved later
on.
