Bug 676276 – xfce-base/thunar-1.8.3 with gnome-base/nautilus-3.26.4-r2 - file collision at /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.FileManager1.service

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: UNCONFIRMED ---

[Description Attila Tóth 2019-01-26 14:16:26 UTC]

Recent ebuild xfce-base/thunar-1.8.3 fails to merge due to file collision if gnome-base/nautilus-3.26.4-r2 is also installed.
Colliding file: /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.FileManager1.service
Both packages provide the same file. Thunar implemented the file recently:

Removing the file in question then emerging thunar and nautilus again allows it to continue. But thats not a total solution since the contents of the files are different. Exec=/usr/bin/thunar vs Exec=/usr/bin/nautilus

Exactly.
