I could find only two instances of string prefix matching in the tree: - autotools.eclass depends on "=sys-devel/autoconf-2.1*" (with WANT_AUTOCONF=2.1). - media-video/nvidia-settings has "=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-3*". Both should be are easily fixable, in a way that doesn't break backwards compatibility with current Portage. So I think that fixing the spec would be possible, indeed. Ulrich
