Building dev-util/catalyst-1.1.3 fails with FEATURES=collision-protect because it tries to overwrite files that were previously generated at run-time by the Python interpreter.

Ack! Sorry about that. I'll fix that in the next release. For now, either remove the .pyc files from your /usr/lib/catalyst or turn off collision-protect
OK, thx!
This ebuild is no longer in the tree and hasn't been for some time.
