Created attachment 330862 [details] Proposed patch to add them to deletion upon installation. amber ~ # qlist dev-db/mysql-connector-c++ | grep /usr/[^/]*$ /usr/Licenses_for_Third-Party_Components.txt /usr/INSTALL
Its a big problem. Since its intalls a lot of garbage in /usr

Even worse: dev-dn/myodbc also compiles and installs something of mysql-connector. At least in the ebuild proposed as solution for bug #442322, the mysql-connector part installs the same files in the very same, wrong position, generating a collision.

Just wanted to notify you that there's a suggested fix now in bug #442322.
*ping*
It appears to have been fixed. Currently using version 1.1.1 without the issue.
The problem ist NOT fixed with version 1.1.1. From Ebuild: # docs are installed poorly rm -rf "${ED}"/usr/{ANNOUNCEMENT,COPYING,README} dodoc ANNOUNCEMENT README So for me it is clear, that this error can't be fixed right now. @Octave Berry Are you really shure? Try a : emerge -C mysql-connector-c++ && emerge -1 mysql-connector-c++ I would bet, that the two files will return on your machine under /usr ;-)
@Frank Krömmelbein You won the bet, I got mistaken by a manual patch (my … I should have added a revision). The issue is still there.

Fixed along with version bump to 1.1.3
