Description Toralf Förster gentoo-dev 2015-04-22 17:56:07 UTC 
eg.:
# qlist -IC hamcrest-*  
dev-java/hamcrest-core
dev-java/hamcrest-core
dev-java/hamcrest-generator
dev-java/hamcrest-library


prolly due to the 2 slotted version: 2.6.1 [1.2.0]
but it looks badly IMO.
Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2015-04-22 18:39:48 UTC 
yes, it's due to different SLOTs.  it's always been this way and is accurate of the vdb.  i'm not sure i want to change this behavior.  you can kind of argue for both sides, but it's pretty easy to `uniq` it out ...
Comment 2 Toralf Förster gentoo-dev 2015-04-23 13:39:48 UTC 
ah - understood, so it is known (and wanted)
-> not a bug.

(completely OT, but what does "vdb" means ?)
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2015-04-23 18:13:41 UTC 
(In reply to Toralf Förster from comment #2)

it's a common (in the Gentoo world) short name for /var/db/pkg/.  it's where the PM (at least portage) stores all info about installed packages.
