Bug 107105 – Updating portage to 2.0.51.22-r2 on a fresh install on Tiger fails from collisions with files in /usr/lib/portage/pym/

• Product: Gentoo/Alt
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Joshua 2005-09-24 12:19:54 UTC]

On a new install of "Gentoo on OS X" on OS X 10.4.2, emerge reports that portage
doesn't own about half the files in /usr/lib/portage/pym/  The packages it says
it doesn't own seem to be the ones owned by root, the other's being owned by the
user which ran the OS X install app.  Two dependencies were installed before
portage; they are listed here:
[ebuild  N    ] dev-python/python-fchksum-1.7.1  26 kB 
[ebuild  N    ] sys-apps/debianutils-2.13.1-r1  -build (-static) 121 kB 
[ebuild     U ] sys-apps/portage-2.0.51.22-r2 [2.0.51-r3] -build (-selinux) 251 kB 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download gentoo-macos-20041118.dmg and run it as a regular (admin) user
2.From a terminal, logged in as root: emerge sync; emerge -v portage
3.

Actual Results:  
Collisions with files in /usr/lib/portage/pym

Expected Results:  
Well, it should install, I suppose.

* checking 141 files for package collisions
#I'll list the actual collisions in a new attachment
* 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 sys-apps/portage-2.0.51.22-r2 NOT merged

No package files given... Grabbing a set.
