sys-fs/mtd-20050519 tries to install some files already installed by sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.23-r2 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge -v sys-fs/mtd Actual Results: * This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other * packages (see list below). Add "collision-protect" to FEATURES in * make.conf if you would like the merge to abort in cases like this. 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/include/mtd/inftl-user.h * /usr/include/mtd/jffs2-user.h * /usr/include/mtd/mtd-abi.h * /usr/include/mtd/mtd-user.h * /usr/include/mtd/nftl-user.h * GNU info directory index is up-to-date. ~ # portageq owners / /usr/include/mtd/inftl-user.h /usr/include/mtd/jffs2-user.h /usr/include/mtd/mtd-abi.h /usr/include/mtd/mtd-user.h /usr/include/mtd/nftl-user.h sys-fs/mtd-20050519 /usr/include/mtd/inftl-user.h /usr/include/mtd/jffs2-user.h /usr/include/mtd/mtd-abi.h /usr/include/mtd/mtd-user.h /usr/include/mtd/nftl-user.h sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.23-r2 /usr/include/mtd/inftl-user.h /usr/include/mtd/jffs2-user.h /usr/include/mtd/mtd-abi.h /usr/include/mtd/mtd-user.h /usr/include/mtd/nftl-user.h
Wasn't this supposed to get nuked quite some time ago in favor of sys-fs/mtd-utils?

news to me ... i say the mtd package should not be installing mtd/ and leave it up to the kernel headers ... they are more up-to-date i would imagine why do we have "mtd" and "mtd-user" anyways ...

When robbat2 took the pkg over he added mtd-utils. Currently mtd-utils depends on acl,xattr which is undesirable. So in that sense the older mtd is more desirable. I however have no intentions to maintain mtd any further. which means it wont begetting fixed by me.
i just looked at latest cvs and i dont see any acl.h usage in it
sys-fs/mtd no longer exists as mtd-utils now takes over
