Here is what the R Extension manual says: "The version is a sequence of at least two (and usually three) non-negative integers separated by single ‘.’ or ‘-’ characters. The canonical form is as shown in the example [0.5-1 - Martyn], and a version such as ‘0.01’ or ‘0.01.0’ will be handled as if it were ‘0.1-0’." So you should just replace dashes with dots.
