It seems that since some files in kde 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 install in the major.minor version directory, it's causing some file collisions. Description above.
The problem is that one file was moved from the kdeadmin module to the kdelibs module. Is there a standard solution for this kind of problems? I don't know any...
Maybe try unmerging KDE 3.4.1 before merging 3.4.2?
(In reply to comment #3) > Maybe try unmerging KDE 3.4.1 before merging 3.4.2? You can do this manually of course, but calling emerge from inside of an ebuild is not an option. (In reply to comment #2) > Is there a standard solution for this kind of problems? I don't know any... I don't think there is one, either. Once again this is something we need Portage support for, but compared to other desperately needed improvements, it's a minor issue, imho. A false alarm is better then none.
Only known solution is to make each package block the other. This is the same problem of ftpbase and the reason why we still have pam-login split off of shadow.
I wouldn't call blocking a solution - it's more a ugly workaround. Also it's too time consuming to enable collision-protect when you play a lot with ebuilds, imho. I don't know about you or the other ones of the KDE herd, but I don't use it... We could do regularly/incremental tree build, store the CONTENT files and diff them. "Conflicting" files could be detected automatically this way. What would be needed is a smart conflict resolution system, that cares for trivial issues like this one by creating the relevant information for portage and files bug reports otherwise. But that's probably beyond the scope of what we can accomplish. ;)
I came across this bug while searching for something else. Blocking, is in fact, the correct solution. One of the goals is to have portage automatically handle blockers when upgrading, which would essentially make the order: unmerge kdeadmin-3.4.1 > update to kdelibs-3.4.2 > emerge kdeadmin-3.4.2. Blocking with the current portage is probably a bit heavy-handed for something like this though. Best would probably be to do a has_version of kdeadmin in kdelibs' pkg_setup and die if collision-protect is enabled.
Seeing that an ugly workaround is needed in any case, I propose adding this one to kdelibs: pkg_setup() { # Workaround collision with <=kdeadmin-3.4.1 (bug #100968). rm -f "${ROOT}${KDEDIR}/share/mimelnk/application/x-debian-package.desktop" } This would work and be transparent to the user, no interaction would be required.
No complaints... I added the fix in comment #8 in kdelibs-3.4.3.
