The maintainer of the vars module is not willing to supply version info (see http://drupal.org/node/995338#comment-3818842), so the dependency needs to be removed from the textile.info file.

The .info file provided by the module is correct, and follows what reported in http://drupal.org/node/542202.

Variables API doesn't need to report its version with a line starting with version = (nor should a module include such line in its own .info file).

If you need to specify that a certain module's version number is required Drupal 7 provides a way for this in the dependencies[] field. Version numbers are optional and only necessary if the module absolutely requires another module's specific version or branch.

version (Discouraged)
The version string will be added by drupal.org when a release is created and a tarball packaged. However, if your module is not being hosted on the drupal.org infrastructure, you can give your module whatever version string makes sense.
