After a couple of months having my system not connected to the net, I reconnected it and now I am emerging world. I came to face many file collisions. I don't think I had the 'collision-protect' FEATURE set before (did it exist in February?), and this might be the reason for it. Perhaps I should finish that emerge world without the feature, and only then add it. Advice will be appreciated. Currently, emerge glibc ends with this error: * checking 2378 files for package collisions 1000 files checked ... 2000 files checked ... existing file /lib is not owned by this package * spent 0.458558797836 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-libs/glibc-2.4-r4 NOT merged # equery belongs /lib [ Searching for file(s) /lib in *... ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8776 (/lib) sys-boot/grub-0.97-r2 (/lib) media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.13 (/lib) sys-fs/cryptsetup-luks-1.0.3-r2 (/lib) sys-fs/udev-087-r1 (/lib) sys-fs/device-mapper-1.02.10-r1 (/lib) sys-apps/realtime-lsm-0.8.5-r1 (/lib) sys-apps/hal-0.5.7-r3 (/lib) sys-devel/gcc-3.3.4-r1 (/lib) sys-devel/gcc-3.4.4-r1 (/lib) x11-libs/gtkglarea-1.99.0 (/lib) media-video/spca5xx-20060501-r2 (/lib) # emerge --info Gentoo Base System version 1.12.6 Portage 2.1.1-r2 (default-linux/amd64/2006.1/desktop, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.4-r4, 2.6.18-gentoo-r4 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.18-gentoo-r4 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ Last Sync: Mon, 18 Dec 2006 02:20:01 +0000 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.30 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.3 dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.14 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache collision-protect distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.hamakor.org.il/pub/mirrors/gentoo http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="he_IL.UTF-8" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://mirror.hamakor.org.il/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X aac alsa alsa_cards_intel8x0,usb-audio apache2 avi bash-completion berkdb bidi bitmap-fonts cairo cdda cddb cdio cdr cli cpudetection cracklib crypt crypto cups dbus directfb dlloader dri dts dvd dvdr elibc_glibc emboss encode fam ffmpeg firefox font-server fortran gdbm gif gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal iconv input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse isdnlog jack jpeg kde kernel_linux libg++ mad mbrola mikmod mmext mp3 mpeg ncurses network nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pcre perl png ppds pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection rss sdl session spell spl ssl stream tcpd threads truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode userland_GNU v4l video_cards_fbdev video_cards_nvidia video_cards_vesa vorbis wxwindows xml xorg xv xvid zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
