Bug 96967 – package sys-libs/com_err-1.37 fails with FEATURES=collision-protect

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Josh Nichols (RETIRED) 2005-06-24 11:36:24 UTC]

I get the following error when attempting to merge com_err-1.3.7 with
FEATURES=collision-protect:
* checking 10 files for package collisions
existing file /usr/bin/compile_et is not owned by this package

package sys-libs/com_err-1.37 NOT merged

The offending files belong to e2fsprogs-1.35-r1, which com_err happens to be a
dependency of. It seems that e2fsprogs was split into smaller packages or
something for 1.37. So, collision-protect should be disabled for if there's a
version of e2fsprogs-1.37 installed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. (With e2fsprogs-1.35-r1 installed) FEATURES=collision-protect emerge
