I'm using net-mail/mailutils instead of mail-client/mailx. Both ebuilds provides the 'mailx' command, but the logwatch ebuild hasn't been updated with this info. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -C mailx 2. emerge mailutils 3. emerge logwatch Actual Results: # emerge logwatch Calculating dependencies ...done! !!! Error: the net-mail/mailutils package conflicts with another package. !!! both can't be installed on the same system together. !!! Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers. # emerge -pv logwatch These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!
