I disagree. Portage has always been very clear about this: atoms |
| 10 |
without slot or version specification means precisely **any |
| 11 |
slot/version will do**. The behaviour is entirely consistent between |
| 12 |
the command line, ebuilds, the world and set files, as well as other |
| 13 |
things in the profile (per package use flag and keyword |
| 14 |
specifications). |
