Cleans the version, as univers was rejecting the version with ':'

[Arka-Saha]

univers was rejecting versions containing ":" so, I added some code to clean it, 1. First tries the original version 2. if error, cleans the version 3. tries again until working.

I hope this result is upto the mark, but do let me know if there is any discrepancies. Looking forward for your reviews, and sorry for being this late, my apologies.
