The short ebuild name "=podman-4.9.2" is ambiguous. Please specify !!! one of the above fully-qualified ebuild names instead. ``` In this case, would it be possible to discount `dev-python/podman` (unless fully qualified) as it is Masked, discount `acct-group/podman` (unless fully qualified) as `acct-*` packages are unlikely be manually installed (rather than being installed as dependencies), and therefore automagically select `app-containers/podman` - but still issuing a warning that the package name is ambiguous? N.B. `acct-group/podman` is from an overlay, but I think the observation is valid in regards to `acct-*` packages in general?
