There's a patch in the following branch: https://github.com/zmedico/portage/tree/bug_586410 I've posted it for review here: https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage-dev/message/23b934e413c9071c87f07b5d27c61a88 This is in the master branch: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/portage.git/commit/?id=3d5382f3e2c437285a009db356c719bc3d77bdd9 Consider documenting the changes... The current documentation says:
> unmerge-backup Call quickpkg(1) to create a backup of each package before
> it is unmerged (if a binary package of the same version does
> not already exist).
And it causes a lot of confusion when packages got overwritten when it's already exists...
This is fixed in portage-2.3.0. (In reply to Fat-Zer from comment #3) > Consider documenting the changes...

If you enable FEATURES=binpkg-multi-instance then packages will never overwritten.

By the word, it's not documented on the man page either...
