Description myrddyn 2008-04-15 03:46:29 UTC
app-admin/python-updater-0.4 reporter a file collision on file /usr/sbin/python-updater
portageq owners / /usr/sbin/python-updater returns
app-admin/python-updater-0.4
dev-lang/python-2.4.3-r4
as both altering those files

Reproducible: Didn't try

Actual Results:  
this is during clean install from 2007.0 minimal cd, after emerge --sync and occurred during updaing portage as reported by the sync.  This is also after having to mask bash which was blocking portage and was already bug-reported

Fixed by unmerging python-updater, emerge -u python, then re-emerge python-updater fixed the problem.  may need the ebuild to check python version before updating python-updater?

The file collision isn't really a problem - it only occurs when you update an older system's dev-lang/python. Currently stable versions of dev-lang/python don't own it any longer:

elmer ~ # qfile `which python-updater`
app-admin/python-updater (/usr/sbin/python-updater)
