Description rx80 2018-05-03 22:37:03 UTC
After installing freetype-2.9.1 i get this message:

 * Messages for package media-libs/freetype-2.9.1:

 * 
 * Installation of a regular file is blocked by a directory:
 *   '/usr/bin'
 * This file will be merged with a different name:
 *   '/usr/bin.backup.0001'

built with
USE="X adobe-cff bzip2 cleartype_hinting fontforge harfbuzz png utils"

the file /usr/bin.backup.0001 is an executable, however
`equery b /usr/bin.backup.0001` reports no owners
