Issue

We have a package (lib-one) which has the following versions:

• 1.0.6a1
• 1.0.6a1.post1.dev20221011110403
• 1.0.6a1.post2.dev20221011110301
• 1.0.7

We would like to install the latest post-release for 1.0.6a1 i.e. 1.0.6a1.post2.dev20221011110301 with a version constraint ==1.0.6a1.*. There is no lock-file yet. After poetry install an unexpected version is installed.

Expected behavior

We expect the 1.0.6a1.post1.dev20221011110403 to be installed

Actual behavior

The 1.0.6a1 version is installed

The relevant output from poetry install -vvv:

Workaround

In this case the version constraint ">=1.0.6a1, <1.0.6a2" basically does what we want, but based on the documentation and PEP 440, the ==1.0.6a1.* constraint should result in the same package version in this scenario.

This worked as expected in poetry 1.1.15, but doesn't work since 1.2.0
