>>> Installing (1 of 1) dev-ml/findlib-1.9.3::gentoo * checking 52 files for package collisions * ... * * Detected file collision(s): * * /usr/lib64/ocaml/ocamlbuild/META This doesn't happen with findlib-1.8.1-r2; I haven't tried v1.9.1.
Right, it needs fixing properly.
a trivial way to fix it is: emerge -C ocamlbuild num camlp4 emerge -a findlib ocamlbuild num camlp4 as META files are in all case produced by findlib, and the correct emerge sequence does not produce a collision. num and camlp4 are cited here because they raise the same problem
If the 'tk' use flag is set the conflict extends to dev-ml/labltk as well. The proposed workaround does not work, since building findlib pulls dev-ml/labltk as a prerequisite, and re-triggers the conflict. To work it around it is sufficient to emerge findlib without 'tk' flag, and then re-emerge it with the flag set: # USE='-tk' emerge findlib # emerge findlib The second emerge does pull in dev-ml/labltk, but it apparently does not attempt to install the conflicting file (/usr/lib64/ocaml/labltk/META).
Still bites at every emerge -u @world.
Can we finally give dev-ml/ocamlbuild the same treatment that Sam gave dev-ml/camlp4 a few months ago [1]? This is breaking many emerge -u @world runs for me. [1]: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=8cfd40d7cf6b67d78c9496ce0c0320562567e634
I just ran into the findlib/labltk file collision on /usr/lib64/ocaml/labltk/META today, and USE='-tk' emerge findlib as noted by Konrad in comment 3 does not seem to bypass the collision.
I'll handle this later today.

Thanks for looking into it Sam, but there were TWO collisions reported here: 1) With labltk/META as reported in comments 3 and 6, 2) With ocamlbuild/META as reported by OP and remaining comments. Only case 1 was fixed so the bug needs to be re-open / re-worked.

Oh bugger, thanks.

This also extends to camlp4 (see Bug 902839). I wonder if there are more error of the same kind.
camlp4 was fixed in its ebuild, see [1]. [1]: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=8cfd40d7cf6b67d78c9496ce0c0320562567e634

We need a special support for META files, this is unacceptable that we need special and exact emerge queue. My proposition is to do findlib_src_install then remove all META with > rm ${ED}/usr/$(get_libdir)/ocaml/*/META and THEN copy correct META file, this SHOULD be easy cause most of the time this is just > /usr/$(get_libdir)/ocaml/${PN}/META

I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to sort it properly myself.
