Description:   Opened: 2004-10-25 02:03 0000
/usr/sbin/rmt (remote magnetic tape module) and the symlink /etc/rmt are
provided by at least these packages:
app-arch/tar
app-arch/star
app-arch/dump

Whichever of those gets emerged last installs its version of the binary and man
page.
Out of those, app-arch/tar does not provide a man page which can lead to
inconsistencies when the installed man page does not fit the actual binary.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge tar (should be intalled already ;) )
2. ls -l /usr/sbin/rmt
[note creation date]
3. emerge either dump or star
4. ls -l /usr/sbin/rmt
[creation time has changed]
OR
1. emerge any two or more
2. etcat -b /usr/sbin/rmt



I doubt an emerge info or stack trace would do anything for you but here I give
the specific versions on my system at the time of this report:
app-arch/tar-1.14.90-r1
app-arch/star-1.5_alpha46
app-arch/dump-0.4.37

I also doubt rmt is used much nowadays so I'm marking this minor.
Howeve I believe making these programs block each other would be a bad idea, 
there are good reasons to have all three of them installed.

dump-0.4.37 now installs as 'dump-rmt'

as for star, see Bug 33119
