I don't believe it works that way. That would imply =pkg-1.0.2* would match 1.0.20 When it only matches 1.0.2 and 1.0.2.* You're reading it in shell glob notation and not the portage notation, that the trailing dot is *implied*, which is why explictly stating it is illegal. https://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/dependencies/index.html#ranged-dependencies > To specify "version 2.x (not 1.x or 3.x)" of a package, it is necessary to > use the asterisk postfix. > Note that the equals sign is mandatory, and that there is no dot before the > asterisk. -- Kent KENTNL - https://metacpan.org/author/KENTNL
