dev-lang/perl-5.10.1 fails to merge, because of a file collision with the symlink lrwxr-xr-x 1 user users 15 Feb 9 11:54 $EPREFIX/usr/lib/libperl.dylib -> libperl.1.dylib which mysteriously isn't owned by any package. Anyway the actual problem is being sys-devel/libperl NOT removing that symlink as it is ought to do, because the logic in that ebuild is flawed. The link is only removed, if the following predicate is true: [[ $(readlink "${EROOT}/usr/$(get_libdir )/libperl$(get_libname)" ) == libperl$(get_libname).1 ]] which won't work on MacOS since the naming scheme differs. Expected libperl.dylib.1 vs. real libperl.1.dylib. IIRC that could be fixed by using libperl$(get_libname 1) instead of libperl$(get_libname).1, but I'm not quite sure about that, Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -u --deep world 2. 3. Actual Results: * Messages for package dev-lang/perl-5.10.1: * 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. If portageq reports that only one package owns a file then do * NOT file a bug report. A bug report is only useful if it identifies at * least two or more packages that are known to install the same file(s). * If a collision occurs and you can not explain where the file came from * then you should simply ignore the collision since there is not enough * information to determine if a real problem exists. Please do NOT file * a bug report at http://bugs.gentoo.org unless you report exactly which * two packages install the same file(s). Once again, please do NOT file * a bug report unless you have completely understood the above message. * * package dev-lang/perl-5.10.1 NOT merged * * Detected file collision(s): * * /Gentoo/usr/lib/libperl.dylib * * Searching all installed packages for file collisions... * * Press Ctrl-C to Stop * * None of the installed packages claim the file(s). * * Package 'dev-lang/perl-5.10.1' NOT merged due to file collisions. If * necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole content of the * above message. Expected Results: sys-devel/libperl removing the offending symlink and thus dev-lang/perl succeeding with merge. Blocks update of perl and/or world, due to perl-5.10 being unmasked recently.
Fixed in 5.10.1-r00.1
