I remember fixing this problem back in 2.1.10 (see ChangeLog). And, I just
tried emerging gmime-2.1.11, and it works - files /usr/bin/gmime-uu{en,de}code
get installed.

Reassigning to net-mail as I'm not the maintainer.

Ok, looks like this is a portage "feature" - it checks for file collisions too
soon, if FEATURES="collision-protect" is set. After moving file renaming from
pkg_preinst() to end of src_install(), all is fine.

Ebuilds have been fixed in CVS, thanks for reporting!

Please reopen.
