Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =sys-apps/kexec-tools-1.101-r4
2. emerge =net-fs/openafs-1.4.7_pre3

Actual Results:

 *
 *      /usr/sbin/kdump

Expected Results:  
No file collisions

Stefaan, what is kdump in openafs?
I'd say that this tool belongs to kexec-tools, but I know openafs is a much older package and perhaps it's a very central component there too?

From http://lse.sourceforge.net/kdump/ :

Kdump is a kexec based crash dumping mechansim for Linux. Kdump functionality is broken mainly in two components, user space and kernel space. Kernel space patches are already part of main line kernel tree. User space component is nothing but a patch on top of existing kexec tools.

Comment 3 Lari Korpi 2009-04-05 22:05:32 UTC

And what is kdump doing in openafs?

It seems openafs has several old things that are now implemented elsewhere.

Why not just remove the binary? I mean, this has happened before with openafs (where it installs compile_et, which is also installed by e2fsprogs-libs) and the fix for that in the ebuild is to rm the binary during src_install. Why not do the same here?

openafs-1.4.12.1 ebuild punts kdump files
