Well, then tell us what owns those files (emerge gentoolkit, equery b /path/to/file or whatever).
(In reply to comment #1) > Well, then tell us what owns those files (emerge gentoolkit, equery b > /path/to/file or whatever). > sudo was removed using "emerge -C sudo"..this worked fine, I then installed sudo using "emerge -atv app-admin/sudo" from here I had the issue. At your request I ran an "equery b" on a number of the files, each time I just got blank output... localhost ~ # equery belongs /usr/bin/sudo [ Searching for file(s) /usr/bin/sudo in *... ] localhost ~ # equery belongs /usr/bin/sudoedit [ Searching for file(s) /usr/bin/sudoedit in *... ] localhost ~ # equery belongs /usr/share/man/man5/sudoers.5.gz [ Searching for file(s) /usr/share/man/man5/sudoers.5.gz in *... ] --perhaps the emerge -C didn't do its job. I checked but as far as portage is concerned sudo is no longer installed, maybe its best for me to just delete these files for now and emerge the new sudo...
Well, sorry but we can't fix collisions with orphaned files at all... Reopen if you find out what installed/orphaned them, AFAICT nothing else does install those. Also emerge --info is usually useful.
