Bug 631594 – file collisions between sys-apps/util-linux and sys-libs/libuuid

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Jack 2017-09-20 22:25:19 UTC]

sys-apps/util-linux-2.28 (current stable,) and sys-libs/libuuid-1.0.3 (marked ~*) both install /usr/include/uuid/uuid.h, /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/uuid.pc, and /usr/lib64/libuuid.so.


Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
First one emerged installs files, second one fails due to package collision.

Expected Results:  
No conflict, or explicit depend of one on non-presence of the other.

Conflict still present with util-linux-2.33-r1 (didn't test with ~2.33.1)

[Comment 2 Fabian Groffen 2019-03-04 09:54:34 UTC]

the conflict is intentional, I wonder why libuuid was pulled in though

[Comment 3 Jack 2019-03-04 17:56:04 UTC]

"equery d libuuid" doesn't show anything (I'm on amd64) so (although I can't remember what I was doing to discover the conflict over two years ago) I may have been led to that package attempting to solve some other problem, which seems to no longer present.

However, as libuuid is only keyworded for "~sparc-solaris ~sparc64-solaris ~x64-solaris ~x86-solaris" I wonder if I just should never have been trying to install it on amd64, or if an explicit block should be added.

[Comment 4 Fabian Groffen 2019-03-04 21:21:45 UTC]

I'll add the block, but you never ever should have the need to install it yourself :)

I am thinking.....

Bug with libuuid not fixed. Without it we are can not compile xfsdump. Or may be I dont know replacement?

[Comment 7 Fabian Groffen 2019-09-11 06:27:52 UTC]

with the block in place, you should have util-linux ... only
