Hi, here's a patch which is the other side of the pkg_postinst() check in quake1-demodata (bug #137402), to ensure that the demo symlink does not conflict with the CD data.

Why don't you just make them block each other?
Because they can reside together quite happily, *without* the symlink. A mutually-exclusive block sounds excessive.
Added to CVS... thanks for the patch, Paul.

This update only seems to work if quake1-demodata is already installed. If it is not, an error is returned. # emerge "=quake1-data-2.40" Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Emerging (1 of 1) games-fps/quake1-data-2.40 to / >>> checking ebuild checksums ;-) >>> checking auxfile checksums ;-) >>> checking miscfile checksums ;-) * The symlink for the demo data conflicts with the cdinstall data !!!
