dev-python/gnosis-utils-1.1.1 installs 'README' and 'MANIFEST' files directly into python site-packages folder (/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ in this case) This collides with python's own README file in that directory. The files are identical to ones bzipped in /usr/share/doc/gnosis-utils-1.1.1/
gnosis-utils-1.2.1 doesn't have this problem. I'll remove this version when it's stable.
This version has been removed from the tree, please use gnosis-utils-1.2.1 which doesn't have this problem. Thanks for reporting :)
