When emerging dev-libs/libsigsegv + dev-lang/gnu-smalltalk, these files are flagged w/ collision: /usr/include/sigsegv.h /usr/lib/libsigsegv.a /usr/lib/libsigsegv.la /usr/lib/libsigsegv.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/libsigsegv.so /usr/lib/libsigsegv.so.0 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge dev-libs/libsigsegv-2.4 2.emerge dev-lang/gnu-smalltalk 3.collisions will be detected as above Actual Results: * This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other * packages (see list below). Add "collision-protect" to FEATURES in * make.conf if you would like the merge to abort in cases like this. You * can use a command such as `portageq owners / <filename>` to identify * the installed package that owns a file. If portageq reports that only * one package owns a file then do NOT file a bug report. A bug report is * only useful if it identifies at least two or more packages that are * known to install the same file(s). If a collision occurs and you can * not explain where the file came from then you should simply ignore the * collision since there is not enough information to determine if a real * problem exists. Please do NOT file a bug report at * http://bugs.gentoo.org unless you report exactly which two packages * install the same file(s). Once again, please do NOT file a bug report * unless you have completely understood the above message. * * Detected file collision(s): * * /usr/include/sigsegv.h * /usr/lib/libsigsegv.a * /usr/lib/libsigsegv.la * /usr/lib/libsigsegv.so.0.0.0 * /usr/lib/libsigsegv.so * /usr/lib/libsigsegv.so.0 >>> Merging dev-libs/libsigsegv-2.4 to / Expected Results: emerge w/o collisions for both packages liberte ~ # emerge --info Portage 2.1.4.4 (default-linux/x86/2007.0, gcc-4.2.3, glibc-2.7-r1, 2.6.24-gentoo-r2 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.24-gentoo-r2 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7500 @ 2.20GHz Timestamp of tree: Tue, 04 Mar 2008 19:00:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p33 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.5 dev-lang/python: 2.5.1-r5 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 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, 1.10.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.24 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=prescott -mtune=prescott -mmmx -msse -msse2 -msse3 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /opt/openjms/config /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/lib/fax /usr/share/config /var/lib/hsqldb /var/spool/fax/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /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/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=prescott -mtune=prescott -mmmx -msse -msse2 -msse3 -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/mnt/sdb/portage/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks fixpackages metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo ftp://mirror.iawnet.sandia.gov/pub/gentoo/ ftp://gentoo.netnitco.net/pub/mirrors/gentoo/source/ ftp://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo ftp://gentoo.cites.uiuc.edu/pub/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.utdlug.org/linux/distributions/gentoo/ " LANG="C" LC_ALL="C" LINGUAS="en en_US hi_IN" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/mnt/sdb/portage/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/scratch/portage/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/mnt/sdb/portage/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="acl berkdb cli cracklib crypt cups dri fortran gdbm gpm iconv ipv6 isdnlog midi mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly openmp pam pcre perl pppd python readline reflection session spl ssl tcpd unicode x86 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" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias asis auth_basic auth_digest authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbd authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cern_meta charset_lite dav dav_fs dav_lock dbd deflate dir disk_cache dumpio env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers ident imagemap include info log_config log_forensic logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation proxy proxy_ajp proxy_balancer proxy_connect proxy_ftp proxy_http rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack version vhost_alias" APACHE2_MPMS="worker" CAMERAS="adc65 agfa-cl20 aox barbie canon casio clicksmart310 digigr8 digita dimera directory enigma13 fuji gsmart300 hp215 iclick jamcam jd11 kodak konica largan lg_gsm mars minolta mustek panasonic pccam300 pccam600 polaroid ptp2 ricoh samsung sierra sipix smal sonix sonydscf1 sonydscf55 soundvision spca50x sq905 stv0674 stv0680 sx330z template toshiba" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev joystick keyboard mouse synaptics vmmouse void" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en en_US hi_IN" LIRC_DEVICES="all" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia nv vmware" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS liberte ~ # grep -E "dev-libs/libsigsegv|dev-lang/gnu-smalltalk" /etc/portage/package.use dev-lang/gnu-smalltalk emacs gmp gtk readline tcltk tcl tk dev-libs/libsigsegv
