9 For what it's worth, a quick grep over the tree deps cache shows that
10 there is currently only 3 dep atoms of the form "=cat/name-ver*" for
11 which some cat/name-ver[0-9]* ebuild exists:
12
13 - "=media-libs/libsidplay-1.3*" matches libsidplay-1.36.57 (found in
14 media-plugins/gst-plugins-sidplay)
15
16 - "=sys-devel/autoconf-2.1*" matches autoconf-2.13 (found in
17 net-proxy/privoxy and dev-tcltk/expect)
18
19 - "=sys-devel/autoconf-2.5*" matches autoconf-2.59 (found in
20 x11-libs/gtk-server and media-plugins/xmms-jack)
