cut

If I have a listing of packages,
such as : -

XML-Parser-2.34.tbz2
bin86-0.16.17.tbz2
libxml2-2.6.26.tbz2 system-tools-backends-1.4.2.tbz2

I want to cut the version number from the listing, leaving only bin86, libxml2, etc.
I think that cutting a "-" followed by a {0-9} achieve this ??? but cut only allows for a single delimiter.

How to achieve this ?

thanks
