When I attempted to update either nspr or nvu, I get the following message over a file collusion: * QA Notice: Package has poor programming practices which may compile * fine but exhibit random runtime failures. * ../../../../mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/io/prfdcach.c:165: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules * ../../../../mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/io/prfdcach.c:224: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules * ../../../../mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/misc/prthinfo.c:109: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules * ../../../../mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/misc/prthinfo.c:235: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules * ../../../../mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/pthreads/ptio.c:903: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules * Please do not file a Gentoo bug and instead report the above QA * issues directly to the upstream developers of this software. * Homepage: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/nspr/ >>> Installing dev-libs/nspr-4.7.3 * Messages for package dev-libs/nspr-4.7.3: * This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other * packages (see list below).

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.

If * necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole content of the * above message. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Attempt to emerge -u nspr (or nvu) Actual Results: I received the message as posted above and the update did not occur (obviously). Expected Results: To be able to update either nvu or nspr.
