emerge -uDNatv sendmail fails due to collision of /usr/sbin/sendmail with package net-mail/mailwrapper-0.2.1 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -uDNatv sendmail 2. 3. Actual Results: * This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other * packages (see list below). You can use a command such as `portageq * owners / <filename>` to identify the installed package that owns a * file. If portageq reports that only one package owns a file then do * NOT file a bug report. A bug report is only useful if it identifies at * least two or more packages that are known to install the same file(s). * If a collision occurs and you can not explain where the file came from * then you should simply ignore the collision since there is not enough * information to determine if a real problem exists. Please do NOT file * a bug report at http://bugs.gentoo.org unless you report exactly which * two packages install the same file(s). Once again, please do NOT file * a bug report unless you have completely understood the above message. * * Detected file collision(s): * * /usr/sbin/sendmail * * Searching all installed packages for file collisions... * * Press Ctrl-C to Stop * * net-mail/mailwrapper-0.2.1 * /usr/sbin/sendmail * * Package 'mail-mta/sendmail-8.14.0' NOT merged due to file collisions. * If necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole content of the * above message. Expected Results: should not have had collision Reporting bug since it appears both sendmail and mailwrapper are trying to install the same file... hopefully I have not misunderstood the guideline for reporting this kind of bug!
Fixed. If you install sendmail with USE=-mailwrapper then net-mail/mailwrapper shouldn't be installed.
