Description molle.bestefich 2006-04-29 05:17:47 UTC
I have these packages merged:
 dev-util/git-1.2.4
 dev-util/cogito-0.16.4

Now I try to merge:
 app-misc/git-4.3.20

Which is a package entirely unrelated to dev-util/{git,cogito}.

Transcript:
<pre>
# emerge -p app-misc/git

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[blocks B     ] dev-util/cogito (is blocking app-misc/git-4.3.20)
[blocks B     ] dev-util/git (is blocking app-misc/git-4.3.20)
[ebuild  N    ] app-misc/git-4.3.20
</pre>

What's the deal?

You can't have two packages that install the same binary to same place installed at the same time. Pick one; sorry.

See Bug 98032

Ah, that's why.
Thanks.

Should really be noted by a remark in the ebuild right besides the ! blocking statement, so that people can look up this information by hemself.

I would've made a patch, but couldn't find a link explaining anonymous CVS access to gentoo-x86 anywhere, so...
