Description Søren Chrestensen 2004-10-27 11:45:51 UTC

When merging Eterm it stops with a collision-protect on /usr/share/terminfo/E/Eterm . That file is belonging to sys-libs/ncurses-5.4-r5.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge eterm
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
* checking 87 files for package collisions
existing file /usr/share/terminfo/E/Eterm is not owned by this package
* spend 0.0267810821533 seconds checking for file collisions
* This package is blocked because it wants to overwrite
* files belonging to other packages (see messages above).
* If you have no clue what this is all about report it 
* as a bug for this package on http://bugs.gentoo.org

package x11-terms/eterm-0.9.2-r6 NOT merged


Expected Results:  
It should merge.
