Well, my inews comes from the inn package (actually the subsidiary
inewsinn package).  I know this from dpkg -S:

<carlf@home>
</home/carlf>$ dpkg -S inews
inewsinn: /usr/share/man/man1/inews.1.gz
inewsinn: /usr/share/doc/inewsinn/copyright
inewsinn: /usr/share/doc/inewsinn
inewsinn: /usr/bin/inews
inewsinn: /usr/share/doc/inewsinn/changelog.Debian.gz


So you might try typing "dpgk -S inews" at a shell prompt.

Then to get the version of the package you'd do "dpkg -s <package>".
