I'm attempting to merge sys-apps/fwts, which depends on both sys-power/iasl and sys-power/pmtools. Unfortunately, both of these install the acpidump binary, pmtools as /usr/sbin/acpidump, iasl as /usr/bin/acpidump. The problem is that I have the (s)bin merge as well as the /usr merge, with /usr -> . and /sbin -> bin, so the canonical path for both /usr/sbin/acpidump and /usr/bin/acpidump is /bin/acpidump, resulting in a file collision. If these are the same executable utility, only one should install it. If they're not or as an alternative if they are, one should be renamed so they don't collide for people with the bin/sbin merge. As a third alternative I suppose acpidump could be split into another package that both pmtools and iasl depend on... For now I suppose I can either install_mask one or the other (but which one? I guess the pmtools one since it's version-dated 2011, while the iasl one is version-dated 2016?), or set FEATURES=-collision-protect to merge the second one. Duncan
Cleaning up old bugs and came to this one. Bug still applies. =:^( I don't have fwts/iasl/pmtools merged by default but the deps are trivial so it was an easy retest. Still pmtools-20110323-r1, but now iasl-20200717, updating the title accordingly. Both still required by fwts, but both still provide /usr/(s)bin/acpidump which still results in the file collision for people with merged bin/sbin. The easiest blind workaround still seems to be installmasking the older pmtools-2011x acpidump to avoid the collision.
Still very much present as of today - and it is in fact worse than originally described because sys-power/pmtools itself RDEPENDs on sys-power/iasl.
