Bug 728496 – x11-misc/i3lock-color should handle file collisions with x11-misc/i3lock

• Product: GURU
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description John Helmert III 2020-06-16 21:53:20 UTC]

Building i3lock-color with i3lock install presents the user with this 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/bin/i3lock
 *      /usr/share/man/man1/i3lock.1.bz2
 *
 * Searching all installed packages for file collisions...
 *
 * Press Ctrl-C to Stop
 *
 * x11-misc/i3lock-2.12-r2:0::gentoo
 *      /usr/bin/i3lock
 *      /usr/share/man/man1/i3lock.1.bz2
 *
 * Package 'x11-misc/i3lock-color-2.12_rc4' NOT merged due to file
 * collisions. If necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole
 * content of the above message.

Please deal with this collision somehow, preferably by adding a blocker on i3lock for i3lock-color or installing the i3lock-color files with the name 'i3lock-color'.
