Description Marcin Wisnicki 2003-08-21 12:07:11 UTC
Two packages install the same file (actually /bin/groups from coreutils is a
wrapper script which does everything using /bin/id)
"/bin/groups" from shadow (which is unnecessarily linked to libcrypto and
libcrack) shouldn't be installed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
qpkg -f /bin/groups
Actual Results:  
sys-apps/coreutils *
sys-apps/shadow *


Expected Results:  
sys-apps/coreutils *

No, we use the one from shadow.
Comment 2 Marcin Wisnicki 2003-09-06 12:06:15 UTC
In that case fix the coreutils ebuild

Not that easy.  Seemant, we will need to do a new shadow rev, and then a
new coreutils revision that depends on the new shadow revision to make
sure that /bin/groups do not get missing in action.  Also, the manpage
should go from coreutils, but I am not so sure if we have to strip the
bit about groups in coreutils's info page.  Comments ?

this was fixed in the recent updates to both coreutils and shadow
