Hi, This happens from time to time. Have a FEATURES="...collision-protect..." in /etc/make.conf and sometimes there is such collision. Have one with wv-1.0.3 in some files: ...BEGIN... * checking 485 files for package collisions existing file /usr/share/man/man1/wvAbw.1.gz is not owned by this package existing file /usr/share/man/man1/wvPDF.1.gz is not owned by this package existing file /usr/share/man/man1/wvVersion.1.gz is not owned by this package existing file /usr/share/man/man1/wvWare.1.gz is not owned by this package existing file /usr/share/man/man1/wvPS.1.gz is not owned by this package existing file /usr/share/man/man1/wvHtml.1.gz is not owned by this package existing file /usr/share/man/man1/wvSummary.1.gz is not owned by this package existing file /usr/share/man/man1/wvMime.1.gz is not owned by this package existing file /usr/share/man/man1/wvDVI.1.gz is not owned by this package existing file /usr/share/man/man1/wvCleanLatex.1.gz is not owned by this package existing file /usr/share/man/man1/wvRTF.1.gz is not owned by this package existing file /usr/share/man/man1/wvWml.1.gz is not owned by this package existing file /usr/share/man/man1/wvText.1.gz is not owned by this package existing file /usr/share/man/man1/wvLatex.1.gz is not owned by this package * spend 0.391931056976 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 app-text/wv-1.0.3 NOT merged ...END...

which package does own these collisions? qpkg -f -v /usr/share/man/man1/wvAbw.1.gz
Hi, Sorry for this but i've already merged wv-1.0.3 so it overwrote all this files. My bad, now 'qpkg -f -v ...' reports this file as belonging to wv-1.0.3. But with some previous collision-protect errors it seems that sometimes the files in question doesn't belong to any package or to some other package. In my first collision-protect errors checked to whom the files belong but now forgot to, sorry. Just had such error with gcc-3.4.3-r1 (more then 100 files) and finished it with FEATURES="-collision-protect" ebuild ... install/qmerge. No bug on this one. So from now on (as i could overcome/finish such erors with ebuild ...) when reporting first will get info about to whom the colliding files belong to (but which of all the files) and ONLY after then finish the process. Or could wait for the bug to be solved but this sometimes could take a lot of time. Suggestions ? i'll change this bugs status to FIXED as there is no info to solve it. PS: too much errors with: collision-protect and maketest, already permanently disabled 'maketest'. Thanks Rumen
the only thing i can think of that couldve provided this is some really old abiword ebuild.
