When installing the new version, I get the following message: * * Installation of a regular file is blocked by a directory: * '/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pycurl-7.43.0.5-py3.7.egg-info' * This file will be merged with a different name: * '/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pycurl-7.43.0.5-py3.7.egg-info.backup.0000' * Is this expected? What should be done with this? Now I have both directory and the file. Reproducible: Always
Did you unmerge dev-python/wheel recently?
According to qlop report, yes: 2020-06-05T15:12:13 >>> dev-python/wheel: 8s 2020-07-23T13:56:32 <<< dev-python/wheel: 2s

This is somewhat of an unsolvable problem. I've pushed a fix that should make this at least consistent for future installs. However, people who happened to install it with dev-python/wheel installed will still hit this. The problem should eventually go away on the next version bump (→ filename change).
