I tried to upgrad to dev-java/java-config-2.1.1. At the end, the emerge process failed: >>> Done. * checking 52 files for package collisions * This package is blocked because it wants to overwrite * files belonging to other packages (see list below). * If you have no clue what this is all about report it * as a bug for this package on http://bugs.gentoo.org package dev-java/java-config-2.1.1 NOT merged Detected file collision(s): '/usr/share/java-config-2/pym/java_config/FileParser.pyc' '/usr/share/java-config-2/pym/java_config/VM.pyc' '/usr/share/java-config-2/pym/java_config/Errors.pyc' '/usr/share/java-config-2/pym/java_config/OutputFormatter.pyc' '/usr/share/java-config-2/pym/java_config/Package.pyc' Those files are compiled python files, belonging to java-config (the source .py files belong to java-config). --($:~)-- emerge --info Portage 2.1.3.12 (default-linux/x86/2007.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.22-gentoo-r8.r08.mit-ide-mod i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.22-gentoo-r8.r08.mit-ide-mod i686 Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2400 @ 1.83GHz Timestamp of tree: Wed, 10 Oct 2007 05:20:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17-r1 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.33-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r4, 2.5.1-r2 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.10-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r3 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.22-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /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 /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/Gentoo/Portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--alphabetical" FEATURES="buildpkg ccache collision-protect distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS=" http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/gentoo/ http://ftp.gentoo.or.kr/ http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo/ http://distfiles.gentoo.org/ " LANG="de_CH.UTF-8" LINGUAS="de" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/Gentoo/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="/Gentoo/Portage/build" PORTDIR="/Gentoo/Portage/tree" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/java-overlay /Gentoo/Portage/local-tree/misc" SYNC="rsync://winds03:10873/gentoo-portage" USE="X acpi alsa berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth cairo cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dmi doc dri dvd dvdr dvdread encode fam firefox fortran gdbm gif gnome gnutls gpm gstreamer gtk hal iconv isdnlog jpeg kde kdeenablefinal kdehiddenvisibility ldap libnotify mad midi mmx mp3 mpeg mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp pam pcmcia pcre pdf perl png pppd python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection samba sdl session spell spl sse sse2 ssl svg tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode vorbis wifi win32codecs x86 xine xinerama xml xorg xv zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m usb-audio usb-usx3y" 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" CAMERAS="ptp2 directory" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="de" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nv nvidia vga none" Unset: CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Same here; this whole thing is caused by the broken location this gets installed to; .py[co] files don't belong to /usr/share, breaks on python upgrade.

Nowadays we install to site-packages like all other python stuff.
