While attempting to upgrade Xorg (both 6.8.2-r8 one one machine and and 6.9.x on another), it compiled fine, but failed on the install step with the following: * checking 5583 files for package collisions 1000 files checked ... 2000 files checked ... 3000 files checked ... 4000 files checked ... 5000 files checked ... existing file /usr/X11R6/include is not owned by this package * spent 17.2383520603 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 x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r8 NOT merged No package files given... Grabbing a set. I posted to gentoo-user and it was suggested I post this as a bug here.
