Description Martin Mokrejš 2009-01-27 16:12:41 UTC
After installation of fvwm-crystal my ~/.Xresources got overwritten. This is really bad.
Comment 1 Dominique Michel 2009-05-22 07:02:00 UTC
What is the output of

equery f fvwm-crystal|grep -i xresources

It sould be installed into /usr/share/doc/fvwm-crystal-9999/addons/Xresources

That imply that you (and not portage) moved this file into ~/.Xresources

Hmm, I uninstalled this crappy package in the meantime.

No, this is a file ~/.Xresources, not a directory!

You must have done something wrong, ebuilds don't write in the home directories. And if the upstream installation scripts themselves try to do so on their own a sandbox violation will be issued and the emerge will fail (unless you are fearless enough to have FEATURES=-sandbox on your make.conf).

Please provide build log and emerge --info output. 
Reopen when you provide the info.
