Two packages install the same file (actually /bin/groups from coreutils is a wrapper script which does everything using /bin/id) "/bin/groups" from shadow (which is unnecessarily linked to libcrypto and libcrack) shouldn't be installed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: qpkg -f /bin/groups Actual Results: sys-apps/coreutils * sys-apps/shadow * Expected Results: sys-apps/coreutils *
No, we use the one from shadow.
In that case fix the coreutils ebuild
------- Additional Comments From azarah@gentoo.org 2003-18-09 11:54 EST ------- Not that easy. Seemant, we will need to do a new shadow rev, and then a new coreutils revision that depends on the new shadow revision to make sure that /bin/groups do not get missing in action. Also, the manpage should go from coreutils, but I am not so sure if we have to strip the bit about groups in coreutils's info page. Comments ?
this was fixed in the recent updates to both coreutils and shadow
