Description globus 2020-02-17 10:56:39 UTC
Hello, sorry my bad English.
During the last update, the dev-libs/libxls package broke with the message:
 * 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 https://bugs.gentoo.org/ unless you report exactly
 * which two packages install the same file(s). See
 * https://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.
 *
 * Detected file collision(s):
 *
 *      /usr/share/man/man1/xls2csv.1.bz2
 *
 * Searching all installed packages for file collisions...

 * Press Ctrl-C to Stop

 * app-text/catdoc-0.95:0::gentoo
 *      /usr/share/man/man1/xls2csv.1.bz2
 *
 * Package 'dev-libs/libxls-1.5.2-r1' NOT merged due to file collisions.
 * If necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole content of the
 * above message.

app-text/catdoc-0.95:0::gentoo
 *      /usr/share/man/man1/xls2csv.1.bz2 - That's right, I checked.

Reproducible: Always
