(In reply to comment #1) > > Seems that symlink /usr/bin/evolution is not owned by any package > > We can't fix collisions with orphaned stuff, sorry... Delete the symlink and > move on, or tell us what left the symlink there. > I thought that this link was done by previous evolution-2.10, reading on its ebuild: alternatives_auto_makesym "/usr/bin/evolution" "/usr/bin/evolution-[0-9].[0-9][0-9]" But, after re-emerging 2.10.3 (and after I removed manually the link), link wasn't created now :-/
