Description Jonas Bernoulli 2006-06-07 03:09:20 UTC

when emerged with useflag X set:

existing file /bin/pstree.x11 is not owned by this package

/bin/pstree.x11 doesnt seam to belong to any package:

# equery belongs /bin/pstree.x11
[ Searching for file(s) /bin/pstree.x11 in *... ]

There's no pstree ebuild in portage.

# equery b /bin/pstree.x11
[ Searching for file(s) /bin/pstree.x11 in *... ]
sys-process/psmisc-22.2 (/bin/pstree.x11 -> pstree)

Don't see what are you trying to emerge, anyway - we can't fix collisions w/ orphaned files.
