Hi, Recently put this in FEATURES=" ... collision-protect ...". As i've just finished runing 'libperl-rebuilder' script wanted to re-emerge some of the broken apps. To be sure first did 'emerge =package-class/pack-version -pv/-C to clear the old install, then 'emerge package-class/package -v' to re-install (same version). Both vim-6.3.-r1 and net-snmp-5.1.1-r1 give errors due to collision in installed files. Checked with 'qpkg -f /path/to/file-name to check to what package this file belongs - nothing. So just removed the file (only one) and re-merged. If needed could give the logs with the conflicting files, but as now saw there are 4 more such bugs obviously it's somethings with collision-protect or other. In the beggining thought it was because if a known problem/bug with vim's duplicating files (/usr/bin/vim - though qpkg gives no app to have installed it) with some othe app (ML) etc., but with the second case i don't know. Thanks PS: just re-merged open-ldap w/o such error. Rumen Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

collision-protect in general works but (I assume) there are still many packages that want to overwrite files. Another problem is that the stage tarballs don't have a proper package database, so you'll get errors until the whole system has been remerged.

Hi, Seems you right. Later happened again while compiling subversion, same file: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i686-linux-thread-multi/perllocal.pod As i backed up previous two files a diff shows they are different besides sharing a common name. So short term solution: should i remove 'collision-protect' as this causes to have to emerge twice (maybe i could just run 'ebuild /path_to_ebuild install/qmerge) but still haven't tried? As the compiling phase passes OK, it's just the install/qmerge that breaks. Looks like this mostly happens with packages which have +perl USE-flag, as i've rebuild it with +ithreads. Thanks Rumen
Hrm, the only conflicts that I can trigger with vim are with other vi clones. I can't reproduce any perl-related collisions.
