I've tried both sci-chemistry/apbs-1.2.1b-r4 and sci-chemistry/apbs-1.3-r1 I have sci-libs/gts-20100321-r2 installed already. apbs is failing telling me that /usr/bin/smooth is already installed. Both have /usr/bin/smooth. It looks like gts has smooth in its examples directory, however even with -examples, /usr/bin/smooth is installed. in apbs, smooth is in "tools". So setting a use of -tools does remove the duplicate package. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install sci-libs/gts-20100321-r2 USE="doc -examples -test" or "doc examples -test" 2. try to install apbs-1.3-r1 USE="arpack* doc fetk%* mpi* openmp python tools*" Actual Results: * checking 323 files for package collisions * This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other * packages (see list below).

I'm using an AMD64, however this doesn't look to be host specific.
