/usr/bin/mtrace seems not to be owned by any package. qpkg -f results in no ouput.

# equery belongs mtrace [ Searching for file(s) mtrace in *... ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1 (/usr/bin/mtrace) Hmm, strange... I cannot see any collision.
Yes, quite strange. But I'm not the only one. I'd see this problem on other places a few weeks before. So should be not a problem of that special version of glibc but a problem of glibc in general (or another package, which generates /usr/bin/mtrace)
Pleasse reopen if youu find out what the other package is...
