29 It looks like you have a version included but did not put a =, < or > in
30 front.  Could be the opposite as well.  You have a = in front but no
31 version on the end.  I do this often since I copy and paste.  One would
32 think I'd remember to get it right but, I'm me.  ;-)
33
34 Here is a couple examples.
35
36 dev-libs/redland -mysql
37 app-office/libreoffice mariadb
38 >=media-libs/babl-0.1.72 introspection
39 >=media-libs/freetype-2.8 harfbuzz
40
41 Notice that without the = characters you also can't have a version.  If
42 you do have a version, you have to have the = in front.
43
44 Hope that helps.
