(In reply to comment #0) > app-admin/eselect-compiler-2.0.0_rc1-r5 fails to merge due to collisions. > Strangely, equery d does not show /lib/cpp as belonging to anything... /lib/cpp is created by gcc-config.
You can either ignore the collission or wait for the next release which will handle /lib/cpp in compiler.eselect rather than in the ebuild.
Any objections to changing the ebuild for the current version to create /lib/cpp in pkg_postinst ? This would do exactly the same thing, except without any collision-protect errors.
Ah good point... I dunno why I didn't think of that. I'll take care of it in the morning... or you can handle it now if you don't want to wait. Thanks.
Didn't want to wait, so handled it now :)
