File collision when installing dev-tex/mpm-2.7.2960 while media-sound/mpc-0.12.0 is installed. Both ebuilds install /usr/bin/mpc. Minor priority, since dev-tex/mpm-2.7.2960 is ~x86. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -1 =media-sound/mpc-0.12.0 2. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS='~x86' emerge -1 =dev-tex/mpm-2.7.2960 Actual Results: dev-tex/mpm-2.7.2960 compiles find, but is not installed: [...] * checking 64 files for package collisions * This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other * packages (see list below). [...] * package dev-tex/mpm-2.7.2960 NOT merged * * Detected file collision(s): * * /usr/bin/mpc * * Searching all installed packages for file collisions... [...] * * media-sound/mpc-0.12.0 * /usr/bin/mpc Expected Results: dev-tex/mpm-2.7.2960 should be installed.

mpm calls mpc itself and I will likely not patch the source to change that. Block?
(In reply to comment #2) > mpm calls mpc itself and I will likely not patch the source to change that. > Block? Probably the best idea for now. I don't think we can rename "media-sound/mpc" either, it's been known for ages under that name. Perhaps just drop a quick mail to mpm upstream so that we are sure they are aware of this and if they are kind enough they'll rename it ;)
mpm blocks mpc now and I opened a bug on the upstream bug tracker of MiKTeX (see URL). Closing.
