Hello glibc-2.11.2 ( haven't tried other versions so far ) installs timezone-data if merged with the "vanilla" flag. At the same time, the glibc ebuild contains a DEPEND on timezone-data, which prevents the merge when install would overwrite files of the timezone-data package. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE=vanilla emerge glibc 2. 3. in glibc-2.11.2.ebuild: >DEPEND=">=sys-devel/gcc-3.4.4 > arm? ( >=sys-devel/binutils-2.16.90 >=sys-devel/gcc-4.1.0 ) > x86?
