|Weird.

|Two possibilities spring to mind:
|
|1. yours is dated may 22, mine is may 7. maybe a new version came out which
|was accidentally compiled as a.out
Then the minor number would have been advanced (>= 5 instead of 4),
wouldn't it?
|
|2. your may 22 is referring to 1995, not 1996 and you have an old package

As for the '95 theory, I doubt that since it should have showed the year if
it was that old. As for the renaming - maybe. "dpkg -I" shows:
|birnam| dpkg -I sendmail-8.7.5-4.deb
old debian package, version 0.939000.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|my sendmail-8.7.5-4.deb is from my mirror, which is updated every night.
|where did you get your sendmail.deb file from?
>From tsx-11, as far as I remember (just grabbed things yesterday, but
tsx didn't have everything so I took some things from ftp.debian.org).
Will try to fetch from another archive.
