Colon in version number (debian)
 
Hi,

I have no clue what a colon (":") in a version number of a debian package means. For example, list of my packages says 1:7.3+15 on the xserver-xorg.

That is an epoch to help override another version of the package that would otherwise supersede the epoched version.
