Having postfix-2.5.2 already installed and trying to enable USE=mailwrapper leads to emerge first installing mailwrapper which will abort due to file collisions with postfix: /usr/sbin/sendmail # USE=mailwrapper emerge -av postfix These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
