coming from _pre12, emerge regen on a pristine cvs portage tree checkout,  .51_pre13 fails with the following error:

  File "/var/lib/portage/bin/emerge", line 2401, in ?
    mymatches=portage.portdb.xmatch("match-all",x)
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 5352, in xmatch
    myval=match_from_list(mydep,self.cp_list(mykey))
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 4027, in match_from_list
    raise KeyError, "Specific key requires an operator (%s) (try adding an '=')" % (mydep)
KeyError: "Specific key requires an operator (app-doc/ebook-gtk-2.0) (try adding an '=')"

I imagine the proper is somewhere in here:

grep -r app-doc/ebook-gtk-2.0 /etc/portage /var/lib/portage/world /var/cache/edb/world
