Here's the output of the merge: >>> Completed installing into /var/tmp/portage/sed-4.0.9/image/ * checking 16 files for package collisions * spend 0.0283830165863 seconds checking for file collisions >>> Merging sys-apps/sed-4.0.9 to / --- /bin/ >>> /bin/gsed --- /usr/ --- /usr/bin/ >>> /usr/bin/gsed -> ../../bin/gsed --- /usr/share/ --- /usr/share/doc/ >>> /usr/share/doc/gsed-4.0.9/ >>> /usr/share/doc/gsed-4.0.9/AUTHORS.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/gsed-4.0.9/BUGS.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/gsed-4.0.9/ChangeLog.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/gsed-4.0.9/COPYING.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/gsed-4.0.9/examples/ >>> /usr/share/doc/gsed-4.0.9/examples/dos2unix.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/gsed-4.0.9/examples/unix2dos.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/gsed-4.0.9/NEWS.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/gsed-4.0.9/README.boot.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/gsed-4.0.9/README.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/gsed-4.0.9/THANKS.gz --- /usr/share/info/ >>> /usr/share/info/gsed.info-1.gz >>> /usr/share/info/gsed.info-2.gz >>> /usr/share/info/gsed.info.gz --- /usr/share/man/ --- /usr/share/man/man1/ >>> /usr/share/man/man1/gsed.1.gz !!! failed to properly create symlink: !!! /usr/bin/sed -> ../../bin/sed !!! [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/bin/sed' !!! Failed to move file. !!! /usr/bin/sed -> ../../bin/sed This resulted in an "INCOMPLETE MERGE" and no working sed on my system. I had to manually unmerge all the files, then copy sed.ORIG back to sed. (Which I had created a copy months ago out of paranoia. :) So, I think it actually wiped out the system sed, even though collision protection is on. I'm running Mac OS X 10.3.5. usata@gentoo.org 2004-09-16 06:49:03 0000 Thanks usata@gentoo.org 2004-09-16 06:52:27 0000 Thanks for the bug report.

Could you (or other guys if he's busy) check it? clmason@gmail.com 2004-09-16 07:40:10 0000 Thanks a lot.

Thanks. usata@gentoo.org 2004-09-16 07:55:42 0000 Do you have something in /var/db/pkg/sys-apps? If you are not running emerge, remove -MERGING-blah and foo.lockfile if you find any. (Just FYI, you can delete files starting with - by "rm ./-MERGING-blah" or "rm -- -MERGING-blah") clmason@gmail.com 2004-09-16 08:03:23 0000 Thanks for the hints, sed is now merging properly. gongloo@gentoo.org 2005-02-06 13:33:21 0000 Closing out bugs that've been resolved for a while now...
