The blocker is only in DEPEND, and this breaks the upgrade path when using binpkgs because there's actual file collisions between ptlib and pwlib. I've just filed another very similar (also DEPEND vs. RDEPEND) bug on xorg-server. Please don't forget there are people who actually use binpkgs for larger deployments. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
I can confirm this one. Same goes when downgrading ekiga 3.x to ekiga 2.x, and ptlib remains installed. When trying to merge pwlib (as ekiga 2.x dependency), there is a huge file colission. Here's a snippet: ===================== >>> Messages generated by process 24679 on 2011-03-24 23:13:57 ART for package dev-libs/pwlib-1.10.10-r2: ERROR: preinst 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.
