 * 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). See
 * http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Knowledge_Base:Blockers for tips on how to
 * solve the problem. And once again, please do NOT file a bug report
 * unless you have completely understood the above message.

The same happens for all other packages, which I tested, e.g.for: 
audio combinatoric general gsl optiminterp sockets

[Comment 1 misdoro 2014-04-14 15:29:54 UTC]

Created attachment 374914 [details, diff]
presumably corrected patch

This is in fact a bug in /usr/portage/sci-mathematics/octave/files/octave-3.8.0-pkgbuilddir.patch

It introduces an "if-elseif" condition to /usr/share/octave/3.8.1/m/pkg/private/install.m without removing the original if statement.

The (presumably) corrected patch is attached.
