This file collision obstructs upgrades. It can probably be worked around by setting blockers.

 * 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.

It blocks installation of app-editors/gvim-8.0.0004, too (it has `/usr/share/applications/gvim.desktop` as well, and no wonder).

Confirmed here... I guess that the status can be changed :)

[Comment 3 Ivan Iraci 2016-09-15 10:28:49 UTC]

Same here.

[Comment 4 Søren Dalby Larsen 2016-09-15 11:53:35 UTC]

Confirmed here as well.

[Comment 6 jorgicio 2016-09-15 13:21:15 UTC]

Same here. One of both packages conflict with the gvim.desktop, so I think it must deleted before in vim-core.

[Comment 7 Nikolaj Šujskij 2016-09-15 14:32:25 UTC]

Guys, please stop those "same here" and "+1", don't litter others' mailboxes, just add yourselves to CC and wait for a fix.

Workaround for the time being:

 # emerge -a1 vim-core
 # rm /usr/share/applications/gvim.desktop
 # emerge -a gvim

Should be fixed in 8.0.0005.
