Hi Glen,
tried, doesn't help. I found the cause in the meantime, it's #370420
It states:
* Chop off the final "-" (version delimiter) and check the name that
* precedes it. If we didn't have a version delimiter, it must be the
* pkg.$archive short form but we'll check it anyways.
What they apparently did forget is to also chop off the leading path
name up to and including an '/'.
So it is not intentional, it is just the normal first try of an
improvement where you always forget something.
cheerio,
PMc
