Bug 373783 – =app-misc/pip-1.2-r1 stable request (was app-misc/pip-1.2 has file collisions with dev-python/pip-1.0.1)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description u235ly 2011-07-02 08:24:25 UTC]

Both of app-misc/pip-1.2 and dev-python/pip-1.0.1 want to install /usr/bin/pip, causing file collisions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge dev-python/pip
2. emerge app-misc/pip
Actual Results:  
>>> Installing (1 of 1) app-misc/pip-1.2
 * checking 11 files for package collisions
 * 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.
 * 
 * Detected file collision(s):
 * 
 * 	/usr/bin/pip
 * 
 * Searching all installed packages for file collisions...
 * 
 * Press Ctrl-C to Stop
 * 
 * dev-python/pip-1.0.1
 * 	/usr/bin/pip
 * 
 * Package 'app-misc/pip-1.2' NOT merged due to file collisions. If
 * necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole content of the
 * above message.

Expected Results:  
A clean install.

Not sure what we should do here. Just block the other?

[Comment 2 u235ly 2011-07-07 13:30:59 UTC]

I suggest renaming the executable of app-misc/pip to gpip like we did to
the ebuild file of sys-process/parallel.
Originally, sys-process/parallel installs a file /usr/bin/parallel which
conflicts with sys-apps/moreutils. See bug 349225 for their solution.

Rename is fine with me

[Comment 4 Sergey Popov (RETIRED) 2012-10-26 07:55:10 UTC]

Suggest this simple patch to solve this issue:

--- pip-1.2.ebuild.orig      2011-01-05 19:26:31.000000000 +0300
+++ pip-1.2.ebuild           2012-10-26 11:52:34.594542768 +0400

Not sure, but i think we should bump revision and also add apropriate informational message in pkg_postinst
