Description Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2008-12-01 10:06:06 UTC
emerge -1av $(qlist -CI perl)

!!! 'dev-perl/XML-Parser-2.36-r00.1' is not a valid package atom.
Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2009-03-15 09:37:28 UTC
umm, is that even valid ?  having multiple _pre/_rc/etc... is fine, but you can only have one -r and the # is integer, not floating point

portage seems to barf on it as well ...

see ebuild inter-revisions, it is a prefix extension/temporary hack, hence it being assigned to me ;)

not going to fix this, need to cope with the inconvenience for as long as we can't get rid of our overlay
