Not to disparage your comment about version numbers and dashes for mailman, but....I ran dpkg -l mailman on my debian 3.0 system and get the following:
The current version of Mailman is 2.1.5. Debian apparently uses dashes after the official version number, to indicate the version of their binary package.
Am I reading the output wrong? Help me understand what i read above, the "2.1.5-4" part...
What you're missing is that the version number has two parts -- one that is assigned by the Mailman project, and one assigned by Debian.
