• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Glenn Enright 2005-08-19 19:35:42 UTC]

emergeing nvidia-kernel fails on nvidia.ko if FEATURES="collision-protect" is
enabled.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. define collision-protect in /etc/make.conf
2. emerge nvidia-kernel
3. emerge fails

Actual Results:  
>>> Completed installing nvidia-kernel-1.0.7676 into
/var/tmp/portage/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7676/image/

* checking 4 files for package collisions
existing file /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r4/video/nvidia.ko is not owned by this
package
* spent 0.000676870346069 seconds checking for file collisions
* This package is blocked because it wants to overwrite
* files belonging to other packages (see messages above).
* If you have no clue what this is all about report it
* as a bug for this package on http://bugs.gentoo.org

package media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7676 NOT merged

No package files given... Grabbing a set.


Expected Results:  
clean install of nvidia-kernel

also AFTER emergeing without collision-protect
# qpkg -f /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r4/video/nvidia.ko
media-video/nvidia-kernel *

re-emerging 7676 works fine. this was an upgrade from 7667.

IMO this bug should be reopened. It's still a bug (see bug #156908), and it was not marked as LATER by a gentoo dev, but by the reporter. Of course then the summary should be changed to something like 'portage has problems with collisions on kernel modules' or similar.

Really, it would be a dupe of bug #149307 instead.

Err... nevermind... no it isn't...
