Description Geert Bevin 2002-01-31 15:01:11 UTC 
Apparently the * dependency doesn't really work correctly. dev-lang/python-2.1*
should not be resolved by an installed python-2.2 package, while it currently is.
Comment 1 Geert Bevin 2002-02-01 11:00:48 UTC 
seems that the format is "=dev-lang/python-2.1*" and that this works, closing
