Comment 3 Leonid Kabanov 2017-02-09 01:31:33 UTC 
I had the same error:

 * Messages for package net-proxy/squid-3.5.23:

 *
 * Installation of a symlink is blocked by a directory:
 *   '/usr/share/squid/errors/zh-tw'
 * This symlink will be merged with a different name:
 *   '/usr/share/squid/errors/zh-tw.backup.0007'
 *

Dir /usr/share/squid/errors/zh-tw was empty, so I removed the dir and all backup symlinks:

# rmdir /usr/share/squid/errors/zh-tw
# rm /usr/share/squid/errors/zh-tw.backup.000*

After that `emerge squid` successfully complete without errors.

Apparently still happens: https://bugs.gentoo.org/554778#c2
Comment 5 Hank Leininger 2023-06-17 16:59:50 UTC 
I think this has been fixed since https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=6378dbf5695a3344e071a6d14eeb63e172ea21a9

Please open a new bug if this still happens with squid 5.x+ versions.
