While updating bash from bash-3.2_p15-r1 to bash-3.2_p17 with portage 2.1.2.11: * checking 22 files for package collisions existing file /usr/share/info/bashref.info.bz2 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 app-shells/bash-3.2_p17 NOT merged Searching all installed packages for file collisions... Press Ctrl-C to Stop None of the installed packages claim the above file(s). I have FEATURES="collision-protect" in make.conf. I have no idea how this works so can't be more useful, I'm afraid. But since this is the first time collision-protect caused an emerge to stop, I suspect bash should've claimed ownership of that file previously. Need more info? Just ask. Emerge --info follows. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge -1 bash 2. 3. Actual Results: merge of bash blocked because of file collision Expected Results: merge of bash completed Portage 2.1.2.11 (default-linux/x86/2007.0/server, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r4, 2.6.20-gentoo-r9 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.20-gentoo-r9 i686 Pentium III (Katmai) Gentoo Base System release 1.12.9 Timestamp of tree: Fri, 03 Aug 2007 15:20:01 +0000 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.23b virtual/os-headers: 2.6.21 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="collision-protect distlocks fixpackages metadata-transfer nodoc noinfo parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict userfetch userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ http://mirror.ovh.net/gentoo-distfiles/ http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo" LANG="nl_BE.utf8" LC_ALL="nl_BE.utf8" LINGUAS="nl" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="apache2 bitmap-fonts caps cli crypt dri fam gd iconv isdnlog libg++ midi minimal mudflap nls nptl nptlonly openmp pam pcre postgres pppd readline reflection session simplexml ssl threads truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode x86 xml xorg zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="nl" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="apm ark chips cirrus cyrix dummy fbdev glint i128 i740 i810 imstt mach64 mga neomagic nsc nv r128 radeon rendition s3 s3virge savage siliconmotion sis sisusb tdfx tga trident tseng v4l vesa vga via vmware voodoo" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
