If I have a listing of packages,

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 ?
If you have the name in a variable:
pkg=bin86-0.16.17.tbz2
echo ${pkg%-[0-9]*}
If it's in a file or other list, pipe it through sed:
sed 's/\(.*\)-[0-9].*/\1/'
