Description Jon Nelson (RETIRED) 2002-04-28 22:53:34 UTC

Referencing bug 1933 (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1933), I have run
across a situation where two packages own the same file (actually 2 files), and
the files have the same md5sums.  Rather than describing further, perhaps a
gander at 1933 could save some time.

This sounds like a portage bug. Comments?

It's not a bug.
