• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Alexandre Nuno Milheiro 2011-03-24 18:17:16 UTC]

the following files causes a collision when on try to install both openmotif:0 end openmotif:2.2
 * 	/usr/lib/libXm.la
 * 	/usr/lib/libUil.la
 * 	/usr/lib/libMrm.la
 * 	/usr/lib/libMrm.so
 * 	/usr/lib/libXm.so
 * 	/usr/lib/libUil.so


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge openmotif:0
2.emerge openmotif:2.2
Actual Results:  
>>> Failed to install x11-libs/openmotif-2.2.3-r11, Log file:

>>>  '/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/openmotif-2.2.3-r11/temp/build.log'

 * Messages for package x11-libs/openmotif-2.2.3-r11:

 * 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.

Expected Results:  
install both slots of openmotif

may be it is unecessary to slot those two versions of openmotif since openmotif 2.3 should be compatible with openmotif 2.2. In this cas openmotif 2.3 should add the libXm.so.3 link

Please attach build.log and output of emerge --info.
