The package sys-libs/glibc-2.5-r4 (and r3) collides with other packages that own the /lib directory. I initially had this problem about 5 weeks before, so there are two "actual results". The one from today is in this report, I will note the differing packages from the earlier emerge. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure collision-protect is activated and /lib is not in COLLISION_IGNORE 2. Have another package that owns /lib (see actual results) 3. emerge glibc-2.5-r4/-r3) Actual Results: [succesful build] >>> Completed installing glibc-2.5-r4 into /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.5-r4/image/ ecompressdir: bzip2 -9 usr/share/man ecompressdir: bzip2 -9 /usr/share/info making executable: usr/lib32/libc.so making executable: usr/lib32/libpthread.so making executable: usr/lib64/libc.so making executable: usr/lib64/libpthread.so * checking 2373 files for package collisions 1000 files checked ... 2000 files checked ... existing file /lib is not owned by this package * 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-2.5-r4 NOT merged Searching all installed packages for file collisions...

Just to be sure, /lib is an actual directory, /lib64 is a symlink to that directory: drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 12288 22. Aug 14:25 lib drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 16.

Interestingly enough, other packages owning /lib merge just fine.

OK, that's what happens when you don't check before posting. Sorry for that bogus info on top.
There's no solution to the collisions until you recompile all package that are affected by your reversed symlink, so COLLISION_IGNORE is about the best option here.
