Trying to update coreutils via emerge with FEATURES="${FEATURES} collision-protect" in /etc/make.conf reports the following existing file /usr/bin/uname is not owned by this package * 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 package sys-apps/coretutils-6.9-r1 NOT merged Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -u coreutils Actual Results: coreutils NOT merged Expected Results: coreutils should not report a collision coreutils should be updated equery belongs /usr/bin/uname does not state the package owning the file
/usr/bin/uname is a symlink pointing to /bin/uname this looks like coreutils 6.9-r1 wants to install uname in /usr/bin by default
> equery belongs /usr/bin/uname > does not state the package owning the file Then delete it and move on; no way to fix collisions with orphaned stuff.
