I'm not sure what's happening here. While man-pages-4.00 did add attr.5, when installed it winds up at /usr/share/man/man5/attr.5 while sys-apps/attr installs /usr/share/man/man5/attr.5.bz2 Thus avoiding the collision. Anyhow this looks legit and what we can do is what we did for bug #341953 here too. Let me first see if I can figure out why we're getting attr.5 and attr.5.bz2.
(In reply to Anthony Basile from comment #1) > I'm not sure what's happening here. 1) I'm not reproducing this so let's see what system you have. Can you post your `emerge --info`. 2) Can you also just re-emerge =sys-apps/attr-2.4.47-r1 There were some changes to it without rev-bump and maybe your catching one of the earlier versions. (Although admittedly I can't see why the changes would affect this, but just in case.) 3) @base-system. FYI. man5/attr.5 provided by man-pages-4.00 is just a redirection to man7/xattr.7. If this is a legit conflict, then it might just be easier to remove it and not sys-apps/attr's man page.
the compression usage is configurable. the two packages shouldn't be claiming the same attr(5) space. upstream attr dropped their man pages, but there hasn't been a new release there yet :/.
Commit message: Stop installing attr(5) as man-pages handles it now http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-apps/attr/attr-2.4.47-r2.ebuild?rev=1.1
should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report! Commit message: Block older attr that installed attr(5) man page http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-apps/man-pages/man-pages-4.00.ebuild?r1=1.1&r2=1.2
