Hi,

peter@joule:/home/peter$ dpkg -l | grep qemu-system-x86
ii  qemu-system-x86                               1:3.1+dfsg-8+deb10u8
      i386         QEMU full system emulation binaries (x86)

How is the "version number" interpreted?

"1:" ?
"3.1" qemu release number?
"dfsg-8" ?
"deb10u8" Debian 10, update 8?

Additional ideas?

I checked /https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages for an explanation.
Nothing relevant.

Thanks,                ... P.
