• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Paolo Pedroni 2005-08-29 05:54:34 UTC]

Updating ttf-bitstream-vera to version 1.10-r3 yields a package collision for   
file /usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera/encodings.dir.   
Isn't this file supposed to be generated by ttmkfdir or somesuch? 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge --sync 
2. emerge -1av ttf-bitstream-vera 
 
Actual Results:  
* checking 17 files for package collisions  
existing file /usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera/encodings.dir is not owned  
by this package  
* spent 0.0289587974548 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-fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera-1.10-r3 NOT merged  

Expected Results:

So what owns that file currently? (equery belongs
/usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera/encodings.dir) It looks like the Vera fonts
are being provided with Xorg now, at least with xorg-x11-6.8.2-r2, what version
of X do you have?

[Comment 2 Paolo Pedroni 2005-09-19 01:16:49 UTC]

I tried at the time and the file belonged to no package. As for X at the time I   
had xorg-x11-6.8.2-r2 (which now has been replaced by 6.8.2-r4). 
 
Now the files belongs to ttf-bitstream-vera: 
equery belongs /usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera/encodings.dir

media-fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera-1.10-r3 
(/usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera/encodings.dir) 

[Comment 3 Mike Gardiner (RETIRED) 2005-09-19 02:04:30 UTC]

So this isn't still a problem? Seeing as we can't tell where the colliding file
originally came from, reopen if it persists.
