Howdy all,

I just bumped into something I feel is a Portage and PMS bug. Since I
believe in concrete use cases, I'll just go with that.

Currently in the tree we have sys-fs/ntfs3g. However the proper upstream
name and name referenced in every single doc in the world is "ntfs-3g".
I tried to rename the package however, Portage does not let me since it
is invalid naming. marienz and genone informed me it's invalid with PMS
as well.

The version I was trying to add is ntfs-3g-1.516. Logically Portage and
PMS should only consider any data after the LAST - as the version
information. Now in the cpv scheme of things, it's not undeterministic
because the following two entries would be the only valid entries:

sys-fs/ntfs-3g
=sys-fs/ntfs-3g-1.516

Either way, that's my beef.
