Description baz 2003-04-22 15:58:14 UTC 
app-games/ace and app-games/gnome-games both provide files called /usr/bin/freecell

Therefore installing one package will overwrite the 'freecell' game of the
other, if it is already installed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -C app-games/gnome-games app-games/ace
2. emerge app-games/gnome-games
3. ls -l /usr/bin/freecell
4. emerge app-games/ace
5. ls -l /usr/bin/freecell
Actual Results:  
the file /usr/bin/freecell from the app-games/gnome-games package was
overwritten with the version from the app-games/ace package.

Expected Results:  
Ideally the binary would have a different name/path in at least one of the packages.

not really relevant IMHO, but here is my emerge info anyway :-)

Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-04-24 05:15:06 UTC 
if only people didnt like that damn game ;)

would 'freecell-ace' be acceptable ?  that way we dont touch the gnome side of things
Comment 2 baz 2003-04-24 12:21:44 UTC 
I didn't say I liked the game ;-)

Sounds perfectly acceptable to me!

Thanks again...
