Bug 471784 – dev-db/mongodb-2.4.3 installs a /usr/lib file

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description arsenicum 2013-05-30 08:44:56 UTC]

The package compiled successfuly but the emerge have failed then trying to merge with following message:

 * Detected file collision(s):
 * 
 *      /usr/lib
 * 
 * Searching all installed packages for file collisions...

As I can see in temporary image directory - there is a file /var/tmp/portage/dev-db/mongodb-2.4.3/image/usr/lib not adirectory(!). In the build.log I have found the reason:

Install file: "build/linux2/cc_i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc/cxx_i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++/ssl/use-system-boost/use-system-pcre/use-system-snappy/use-system-tcmalloc/use-system-v8/client_build/libmongoclient.a" as "/var/tmp/portage/dev-db/mongodb-2.4.3/image/usr/lib

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
$ emerge =dev-db/mongodb-2.4.3

Actual Results:  
Here is part of build.log:

 * checking 750 files for package collisions
 * 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.
 * 
 * Detected file collision(s):
 * 
 *      /usr/lib
 * 
 * Searching all installed packages for file collisions...



Same thing with 2.4.2, but 2.2.4 is ok.

Thanks arsenicum, the ebuild was indeed wrongly forcing the usage of installAs() for x86 systems. After testing without this bit on a x86 box it worked as intended for me. Should be fixed now.
