* Messages for package app-admin/conary-2.0.21:

 * This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other
 * packages (see list below). You can use a command such as `portageq
 * owners / <filename>` to identify the installed package that owns a
 * file. If portageq reports that only one package owns a file then do
 * NOT file a bug report. A bug report is only useful if it identifies at
 * least two or more packages that are known to install the same file(s).
 * If a collision occurs and you can not explain where the file came from
 * then you should simply ignore the collision since there is not enough
 * information to determine if a real problem exists. Please do NOT file
 * a bug report at http://bugs.gentoo.org unless you report exactly which
 * two packages install the same file(s). Once again, please do NOT file
 * a bug report unless you have completely understood the above message.
 *
 * package app-admin/conary-2.0.21 NOT merged

 * Detected file collision(s):

conary probably should not be installing this binary

This is fun because it causes other packages to fail, like hwdata-redhat.

How about we close this bug? Conary currently present in the tree depends on python-2.4* which is hard masked. There is a new version of conary available, but from NEWS it seems that transition to python-2.6 is not entirely complete. Any thoughts?

app-admin/conary has been removed from portage.

I suggest to close this bug.
