Bug 588838 – =app-arch/lrzip-0.630 installs files that conflict with net-dialup/lrzsz

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Austin S. Hemmelgarn 2016-07-14 15:56:01 UTC]

Recently went to upgrade lrzip on one of my systems which also has lrzsz installed, and the two packages apparently both try to install /usr/sbin/lrz and /usr/share/man/man1/lrz.1.bz2, which prevents the installation of both on the same system.

Ideally, I'd love to see this resolved such that both can be installed together (I've had cases in the past where I did need both packages).

Hi,

please paste your "emerge --info" and "emerge -pv lrzip lrzsz" output.

emerge -pv lrzip lrzsz:

These are the packages that would be merged:

It's worth pointing out that the build and the dependency resolution are working fine, it's only when trying to actually install that an issue occurs.

I end up getting the usual file collision warning and check when I try to have both installed at the same time, pointing at /usr/bin/lrz and the associated manpage in section 1.

lrzip 0.630 has a gzip CLI compatible version it installs under that name now, and that's what's ultimately causing the issue.  I'd personally say that it should be fixed there, not in lrzsz, as lrzsz had usage of the name first.
