Bugzilla Bug 253608

i tried to merge qmail using the following command:
emerge netqmail
at first i couldnt install because of mail-mta/ssmtp blocking it, i removed it:
emerge -Ca mail-mta/ssmtp
then i ran emerge again and it started to install mail-mta/netqmail-1.05-r8,
all went on quite fast but in the end it failed saying there's a file
collision.
im a newb in gentoo, got completely no idea whats the matter, i pasted the log
file under additional information.

Reproducible: Always

The error log.

could you please add the error portage reported. you mention something about a
file collision, but no such thing is mentioned in the posted log. it is
important to know with what package the collision occurs.

also, check if this is not a dupe of bug #61116

 * 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

 * 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.

thanks for the feedback. this is a known issue and it has a solution. try
netqmail-1.06.
