When I try to emerge neon I get errors about multiple definition of various symbols, apparently related to kerberos 5. Here is the fist segment where such an error occurs: /usr/lib/libcom_err.a(error_message.o)(.bss+0x0): multiple definition of `_et_list' /usr/lib/libkrb5.a(com_err.o)(.bss+0x0): first defined here I unmerge heimdal: emerge --unmerge heimdal then emerge neon and successfully merged neon. Running: emerge --pretend krb5 gave the following output: [ebuild R ] app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.3.1 meaning (I suppose) mit-krb5 is installed. As far as I can tell, I never explicitly merged heimdal, neither krb5, I just added kerberos as a USE variable in /etc/make.conf.

If you add it as a use variable, it is more than likely that kerberos has been installed (For example openssh has kerberos support). Please try to remerge mit-krb5
I am closing this bug because the workaround (unmerging heimdal and remergin mit-krb5) solves the problem. Seems that somehow, heimdal and mit-krb got installed at the same time.
