Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2021-06-19 06:48:40 UTC

When there is only 1 package exactly matching ${package} in gentoo repository, '!meta ${package}' (without explicit ${category}/) sometimes finds other random packages:

GOOD:

<user> !meta gcc
<willikins> sys-devel/gcc; maintainers: toolchain

BAD:

<user> !meta perl
<willikins> www-apache/mod_perl; maintainers: perl

<user> !meta python
<willikins> sci-biology/biopython; maintainers: sci-biology

<user> !meta ruby
<willikins> dev-ruby/org-ruby; maintainers: ruby


(Packages expected to be found: dev-lang/perl, dev-lang/python, dev-lang/ruby)
