With `FEATURES="collision-protect" emerge irssi`, irssi gives the following results: ... make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/irssi-0.8.10_rc6/work/irssi-0.8.10-rc6' gzipping doc: manual.txt gzipping doc: faq.txt gzipping doc: special_vars.txt gzipping doc: formats.txt gzipping doc: design.txt gzipping doc: signals.txt gzipping doc: perl.txt gzipping doc: botnet.txt man: gzipping man page: irssi.1 prepallstrip: strip: i686-pc-linux-gnu-strip --strip-unneeded usr/bin/irssi usr/lib/irssi/modules/libirc_proxy.so.0.0.0 usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux/auto/Irssi/UI/UI.so usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux/auto/Irssi/Irc/Irc.so usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux/auto/Irssi/TextUI/TextUI.so usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux/auto/Irssi/Irssi.so >>> Completed installing irssi-0.8.10_rc6 into /var/tmp/portage/irssi-0.8.10_rc6/image/ * checking 295 files for package collisions existing file /usr/share/irssi/help/ircnet is not owned by this package * spent 0.817257881165 seconds checking for file collisions * This package is blocked because it wants to overwrite * files belonging to other packages (see messages above). * If you have no clue what this is all about report it * as a bug for this package on http://bugs.gentoo.org This is odd since it seems to be in an irssi directory.
