So =1.3* would not match 1.30 any more because the 30 could only be matched as a whole. OTOH, I am not aware of any problems caused by the current behaviour. Although I agree that it isn't logical. Another interesting example: Which of the following will match the package "cat/foo-1.02.3", and why: =cat/foo-1.020.3 =cat/foo-1.020.3* =cat/foo-01.02.3* (Hint: PMS and Portage don't necessarily agree.)
