Description Sylvain 2020-02-17 14:49:45 UTC 
Hi, 

Both packages produce the /etc/sysctl.d/README file with different content.

$ portageq owners /  /etc/sysctl.d/README

sys-apps/baselayout-2.7
	/etc/sysctl.d/README
sys-apps/openrc-0.42.1
	/etc/sysctl.d/README

This causes a conflict in the config configuration files
 * IMPORTANT: config file '/etc/sysctl.d/README' needs updating.
 * See the CONFIGURATION FILES and CONFIGURATION FILES UPDATE TOOLS

/etc/sysctl.d/._cfg0000_README seems just as valid to me as /etc/sysctl.d/README

The newest of these files seem to come from this commit

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/baselayout.git/commit/?id=14c91b2c9dc77d6fc81746b999b92187bd9cac82

Can the file simply be renamed to README-baselayout to prevent the conflict?


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
rm /etc/sysctl.d/._cfg0000_README
rm /etc/sysctl.d/README
emerge =sys-apps/baselayout-2.7 =sys-apps/openrc-0.42.1
