Hello, I am trying to install net-misc/l7-filter-2.21. The ebuild seem to patch the current kernel source and then to declare files' ownership, which leads to a collision and thus the package doen't install: >>> Installing net-misc/l7-filter-2.21 * checking 15 files for package collisions * 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. 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/src/linux-2.6.29.2/include/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack.h * /usr/src/linux-2.6.29.2/net/netfilter/Kconfig * /usr/src/linux-2.6.29.2/net/netfilter/Makefile * /usr/src/linux-2.6.29.2/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c * /usr/src/linux-2.6.29.2/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_standalone.c * * Searching all installed packages for file collisions... * * Press Ctrl-C to Stop * * sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.29.2 * /usr/src/linux-2.6.29.2/include/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack.h * /usr/src/linux-2.6.29.2/net/netfilter/Kconfig * /usr/src/linux-2.6.29.2/net/netfilter/Makefile * /usr/src/linux-2.6.29.2/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c * /usr/src/linux-2.6.29.2/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_standalone.c * * Package 'net-misc/l7-filter-2.21' NOT merged due to file collisions. * If necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole content of the * above message. >>> Failed to install net-misc/l7-filter-2.21, Log file: >>> '/tmp/portage/net-misc/l7-filter-2.21/temp/build.log' Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge net-misc/l7-filter Actual Results: * Package 'net-misc/l7-filter-2.21' NOT merged due to file collisions. * If necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole content of the * above message. Expected Results: net-misc/l7-filter doesn't patch the kernel source and doesn't acquire ownership of the kernel source files. The patching is done through a USE file of the kernel source package (maybe not vanilla-sources, in which case an adquate error message should be produced).
