This bug manifests in various ways depending on who was built last. If samba-client is built last one gets a rather explicit collision message with the additional message that * None of the installed packages claim the file(s). (which is a little weird, though part of it is that eselect-postgresql puts a symlink there, so perhaps it's not considered a file). If eselect-postgresql is built last one might get the message !! /usr/bin/net exists and is not a symbolic link or some such. This message has occurred for me while building postgresql-base, etc. and puzzled me for a little while. I doubt this is x86-specific but I don't have access to non-x86 equipment. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge app-admin/eselect-postgresql (version 8.4 currently) 2. emerge net-fs/samba-client (version 3.4.4 currently) Actual Results: * This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other * packages (see list below). You can use a command such as `portageq * owners / <filename>` to identify the installed package that owns a * file. [...] Expected Results: I suppose I would expect both of them to be merged successfully in the same system.

I cannot reproduce it here, eselect-postgresql doesn't install that file here
