>Description:
	I went to build inputmethod/anthy-elisp against emacs30nox.
	editors/emacs30-nox11 built and installed, and then anthy-elisp
	stopped in depends.mk on a dependency that can never be satisfied.

	editors/emacs30-nox11/version.mk asks for a package that pkgsrc does
	not build:

	  _EMACS_REQD=	emacs30-no-x11>=30.1<31

	while the package itself is named emacs30-nox11:

	  PKGNAME=	${DISTNAME:S/emacs/emacs30/:S/-/-nox11-/}
	  -> emacs30-nox11-30.2

	Every other generation spells it without the second hyphen:

	  emacs26-nox11   emacs26-nox11>=26.1<27
	  emacs27-nox11   emacs27-nox11>=27.1<28
	  emacs28-nox11   emacs28-nox11>=28.1<29
	  emacs29-nox11   emacs29-nox11>=29.1<30
	  emacs30-nox11   emacs30-no-x11>=30.1<31   <- this one

	The string emacs30-no-x11 occurs exactly once in the whole tree, in
	this file.  Nothing builds a package by that name.

	The package itself is fine.  What breaks is everything that depends on
	it: editors/emacs/modules.mk turns _EMACS_REQD into the DEPENDS line,
	so with EMACS_TYPE=emacs30nox no Emacs Lisp package can be built at
	all.  anthy-elisp is just the one I happened to try.

	version.mk is still at revision 1.1, so this has been the case since
	emacs30-nox11 was added on 2025-12-16.

>How-To-Repeat:
	No build is needed; the wrong name is visible in the variable.  Any
	package that uses editors/emacs/modules.mk will do:

	  $ cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/cmake-mode
	  $ make EMACS_TYPE=emacs29nox show-var VARNAME=DEPENDS
	  emacs29-nox11>=29.1<30:../../editors/emacs29-nox11
	  $ make EMACS_TYPE=emacs30nox show-var VARNAME=DEPENDS
	  emacs30-no-x11>=30.1<31:../../editors/emacs30-nox11

	The pattern and the directory it points at disagree:

	  $ cd /usr/pkgsrc/editors/emacs30-nox11
	  $ make show-var VARNAME=PKGNAME
	  emacs30-nox11-30.2

	Building instead of asking says both things in a row, on NetBSD
	11.0/i386:

	  ===> Installing binary package of emacs30-nox11-30.2
	  pkg_add: package `emacs30-nox11-30.2' already recorded as installed
	  ERROR: [depends.mk] A package matching ``emacs30-no-x11>=30.1<31''
	  ERROR:     should be installed, but one cannot be found.  Perhaps
	  ERROR:     there is a stale work directory for
	  ERROR:     ../../editors/emacs30-nox11?

	It installs the dependency, notices it is already there, and then
	reports that nothing matching it can be found.  The suggestion about a
	stale work directory is a red herring.

>Fix:
	Spell it the way the package is named, as the other generations do.

	No PKGREVISION bump: version.mk changes what dependent packages ask
	for, not anything editors/emacs30-nox11 installs.
