This isn't a bug per se, but maybe Cretin can explain what happened with beecrypt because I can't remember.
Beecrypt used to a utility library which was installed with and used by rpm. With rpm-4.2, beecrypt was spilt out into a seperate package, so is installed in a seperate ebuild than rpm. So we have both rpm < 4.2 and beecrypt installing the same files, /usr/lib/libbeecrypt.so. It is gentoo policy to make multiple packages NOT install the same files, so each file is provided by one package. Thus beeecrypt and rpm<4.2 must block each other as they provide, rightly, the same file. The fix is to do: emerge -C rpm emerge rpm Closing bug as it is invalid, it is really a portage issuse
