Bug 670785 – Multiple ebuilds try to install /usr/share/locale/locale.alias on hardened+musl

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Stijn Tintel 2018-11-09 19:29:44 UTC]

I'm trying to install libvirt on a hardened+musl system. This pulls in net-analyzer/netcat6-1.0-r2, which tries to install /usr/share/locale/locale.alias. However, this file is already installed by sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.43.9:

 * Detected file collision(s):
 *
 *      /usr/share/locale/locale.alias
 *
 * Searching all installed packages for file collisions...
 *
 * Press Ctrl-C to Stop
 *
 * sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.43.9:0::gentoo
 *      /usr/share/locale/locale.alias
 *
 * Package 'net-analyzer/netcat6-1.0-r2' NOT merged due to file
 * collisions. If necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole
 * content of the above message.

On a glibc system this file is installed by glibc, so this seems like a problem with both e2fsprogs-libs and netcat6.

See if you can still duplicate this, an INSTALL_MASK was introduced to address the problem.
