\fI!\fR means block packages from being installed at the same time.

+\fI!!\fR means block packages from being installed at the same time
+and explicitly disallow them from being temporarily installed
+simultaneously during a series of upgrades. This syntax is supported
+beginning with \fBEAPI 2\fR.
+.br
\fI*\fR means match any version of the package so long as the specified base
is matched. So with a version of '2*', we can match '2.1', '2.2', '2.2.1',
etc... and not match version '1.0', '3.0', '4.1', etc...
