Bug 241696 – kde-base/librss collides with other packages

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description daid kahl 2008-10-13 05:17:09 UTC]

librss complains about collisions when attempting to emerge, and these collisions are from other packages.

I am shifting from monolithic to split kde ebuilds

Reproducible: Only when I don't hide the colliding files.  If I hide the colliding files, it installs with no problems

Steps to reproduce: Install cups, imagemagick, dev-lang/mono or wxGTK and try to emerge kde-base/librss

Actual Results: Aborted compile

Expected results: Successful compile of kde-base/librss

no - the file collisions occur because you switch from monolithic to split ebuilds. unmerge the monolithic ebuilds first (or switch of collision-detect) for this to work.
