Description Sascha Silbe 2006-07-20 13:56:28 UTC

Both app-i18n/man-pages-de-0.4 and app-arch/dpkg-1.10.28 install the file /usr/share/man/de/man1/md5sum.1.gz:

>>> Extracting man-pages-de-0.4
* checking 635 files for package collisions
existing file /usr/share/man/de/man1/md5sum.1.gz is not owned by this package
* spent 0.109599113464 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

app-arch/dpkg-1.10.28 (/usr/share/man/de/man1/md5sum.1.gz)



The binary associated with this man-page is owned by a third package, sys-apps/coreutils-5.94-r1:

root@cube:/etc/portage# equery belongs $(which md5sum)
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/bin/md5sum in *... ]
sys-apps/coreutils-5.94-r1 (/usr/bin/md5sum)


Since coreutils is in the base system, I'd suggest providing /usr/share/man/de/man1/md5sum.1.gz in app-i18n/man-pages-de-0.4 and dropping it from app-arch/dpkg-1.10.28.

I recommend upgrading to dpkg-1.13.11 to fix this problem.
From app-arch/dpkg/Changelog:

  29 Aug 2005; Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> metadata.xml,
  +dpkg-1.13.11.ebuild:
  Version bump to fix md5sum manpage collision.

This newer ebuild has already been promoted to stable on x86 and ppc, and the others will probably follow soon (Bug #134279)
