The following error is generated.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    zarr (>=2.10.*)

This is because the use of .* is only valid when combined with == or != (which was fine before), but is now invalid with >= (though some tools will allow it silently).

https://peps.python.org/pep-0440/#inclusive-ordered-comparison indicates that the version is zero-padded for doing >= comparison against other versions, so >=2.10 or >=2.10.0 should be equivalent, and there shouldn't be any lower version than PATCH=0.

Relevant references:

• Disallow * version modifier for anything but == and != pypa/packaging#566
• Improve error message when .* is used incorrectly pypa/packaging#657
• Specifiers with .* and epoch changed behaviours pypa/packaging#673

@KipCrossing Would it be possible to tag a new release?
