when trying to emerge system for the first time, and the new version of portage would be emerged, I get the following error: >>> Completed installing into /var/tmp/portage/portage-2.0.51.22-r2/image/ * checking 141 files for package collisions existing file /usr/lib/portage/pym/cvstree.pyo is not owned by this package existing file /usr/lib/portage/pym/emergehelp.pyo is not owned by this package existing file /usr/lib/portage/pym/getbinpkg.pyo is not owned by this package existing file /usr/lib/portage/pym/output.pyo is not owned by this package existing file /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.pyo is not owned by this package existing file /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_checksum.pyo is not owned by this package existing file /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_const.pyo is not owned by this package existing file /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_data.pyo is not owned by this packageexisting file /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_db_cpickle.pyo is not owned by this package existing file /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_db_flat.pyo is not owned by this package existing file /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_db_template.pyo is not owned by this package existing file /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_dep.pyo is not owned by this package existing file /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_exception.pyo is not owned by this package existing file /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_exec.pyo is not owned by this packageexisting file /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_file.pyo is not owned by this packageexisting file /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_gpg.pyo is not owned by this package existing file /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_localization.pyo is not owned by this package existing file /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_locks.pyo is not owned by this package existing file /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_util.pyo is not owned by this packageexisting file /usr/lib/portage/pym/xpak.pyo is not owned by this package * spend 0.0567948818207 seconds checking for file collisions * This package is blocked because it wants to overwrite * files belonging to other packages (see messages above). * If you have no clue what this is all about report it * as a bug for this package on http://bugs.gentoo.org package sys-apps/portage-2.0.51.22-r2 NOT merged Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. grab the MacOS X gentoo image 2. follow the MacOS Gentoo documentation (emerge sync, etc) until emerge system 3. try emerge system Actual Results: the new portage is not emerged Expected Results: new portage should have been emerged without problems removing these .pyo doesn't help either, as they get regenerated. also removing the collision-protect from FEATURES in /etc/make.conf doesn't help either.
