This file is in collision with Ethereal portage : ./usr/lib/libwiretap.la and ./usr/lib/libwiretap.a is only used for the compilation of Wifiscanner, it's not needed after. The beter solution is to modify wifiscanner makefile, and use the existing libwiretap.la instead compile a new library. I take the action, because i'm the developper of this software. --- Some traces : root@efflam:/usr/portage/distfiles # emerge -kK wifiscanner Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) net-wireless/wifiscanner-0.9.6 to / >>> extracting info >>> extracting wifiscanner-0.9.6 * checking 12 files for package collisions existing file /usr/lib/libwiretap.la is not owned by this package * spent 0.00155997276306 seconds checking for file collisions root@efflam:~ # qpkg -f /usr/lib/libwiretap.la net-analyzer/ethereal *
Assigning the bugs to yourself kinda makes the bug had to be seen so it can be assigned to someone to fix it. Not sure how you were even allowed to do this.
If you're the upstream maintainer, please provide a patch for correcting this issue.
bug is corrected in the 1.0.0 version. This version is only in the CVS for now, and it will be release as soon as possible and the new ebuild too.
Version 1.0.1 is out, i'll commit on sourceforge, and the ebuild will arrive in a hour. It detect the use of ethereal and do not install the libwiretap if it found.
