>Description:
While improving pkgsrc-rs a while back I fixed an issue with handling potentially large integers in version numbers:

https://github.com/jperkin/pkgsrc-rs/commit/23dc7e3

pkg_install is also vulnerable.
>How-To-Repeat:
While clearly highly unlikely, I don't think it's completely outside the bounds of possibility that someone somewhere may for example have a version number that includes a timestamp with sub-second granularity, which leads to this failure:

$ pkg_admin pmatch 'pkg>=1.20251209152135' pkg-1.0 && echo WRONG || echo fine
fine
$ pkg_admin pmatch 'pkg>=1.20251209152135000' pkg-1.0 && echo WRONG || echo fine
WRONG
>Fix:
