gui-libs/libhandy should be unbundled from gnome-extra/gnome-contacts-3.32.1 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: I had trouble compiling gnome-extra/gnome-contacts-3.32.1 , but it worked fine after unmerging gui-libs/libhandy-0.0.9 . When I tried to reinstall libhandy, this is what happened : Actual Results: >>> Failed to install gui-libs/libhandy-0.0.9, Log file: >>> '/tmp/portage/gui-libs/libhandy-0.0.9/temp/build.log' * Messages for package gui-libs/libhandy-0.0.9: * This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other * packages (see list below).

It is not bundled if you don't ignore the hard dependency in the package! That's why it's there. You need to solve or report the issue with the external libhandy, not hack around it by hacking around the package to use a bundled libhandy.
Sorry about that. I was just playing around with libhandy-9999 and had some compatibility problems. I was not expecting gnome-contacts to provide its own when the system libhandy is missing. It is all working here now that I have libhandy and gnome-contacts from ::gentoo installed.
Yeah, it really hard requires libhandy to not cause issues - the build path with the bundling is only meant to hit when building a flatpak for it
