These packages all do almost the same thing, provide an EzMLM (EZ mailing list manager) and all provide the same basic files. When installing net-mail/ezmlm-idx-mysql without first removing net-mail/ezmlm-idx I get the following error: * This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other * packages (see list below). Add "collision-protect" to FEATURES in * make.conf if you would like the merge to abort in cases like this. You * can use a command such as `portageq owners / <filename>` to identify * the installed package that owns a file. If portageq reports that only * one package owns a file then do NOT file a bug report. A bug report is * only useful if it identifies at least two or more packages that are * known to install the same file(s). If a collision occurs and you can * not explain where the file came from then you should simply ignore the * collision since there is not enough information to determine if a real * problem exists. Please do NOT file a bug report at * http://bugs.gentoo.org unless you report exactly which two packages * install the same file(s). Once again, please do NOT file a bug report * unless you have completely understood the above message. * * Detected file collision(s): * * /usr/bin/ezmlm-accept * /usr/bin/ezmlm-archive * /usr/bin/ezmlm-issubn * /usr/bin/ezmlm-glconf * /usr/bin/ezmlm-make * /usr/bin/ezmlm-mktab * /usr/bin/ezmlm-manage * /usr/bin/ezmlm-send * /usr/bin/ezmlm-request * /usr/bin/ezmlm-reject * /usr/bin/ezmlm-return * /usr/bin/ezmlm-warn * /usr/bin/ezmlm-weed * /usr/bin/ezmlm-list * /usr/bin/ezmlm-clean * /usr/bin/ezmlm-cron * /usr/bin/ezmlm-limit * /usr/bin/ezmlm-store * /usr/bin/ezmlm-split * /usr/bin/ezmlm-moderate * /usr/bin/ezmlm-sub * /usr/bin/ezmlm-unsub * /usr/bin/ezmlm-idx * /usr/bin/ezmlm-check * /usr/bin/ezmlm-gate * /usr/bin/ezmlm-tstdig * /usr/bin/ezmlm-get * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-issubn.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-list.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-glconf.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-make.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-mktab.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-manage.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-reject.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-request.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-return.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-send.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-split.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-store.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-sub.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-warn.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-weed.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-idx.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-gate.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-tstdig.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-get.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-clean.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-limit.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-cron.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-accept.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-archive.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-moderate.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-unsub.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-check.1.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man5/ezmlmglrc.5.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man5/ezmlmsubrc.5.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man5/ezmlm.5.bz2 * /usr/share/man/man5/ezmlmrc.5.bz2 >>> Merging net-mail/ezmlm-idx-mysql-0.40-r2 to /
