A file collision occurs. Host system is SUSE 10 SP1. Let me know if `emerge --info' is needed. >>> Installing sys-process/procps-3.2.7 * This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other * packages (see list below). 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.

Don't know why, but at least since 2009-02-06 this package (sys-process/procps-3.2.7) emerges fine. The version is the same, as is the case for coreutils too.
/me shrugs. Everything looks the same to me. also, worksforme.
