I had this and used features = to get both to install: portageq owners / /usr/share/man.ecompress.dir sys-fs/udev-146 /usr/share/man.ecompress.dir sys-auth/consolekit-0.3.0-r2 /usr/share/man.ecompress.dir Now, I try to emerge dev-perl/libwww-perl 5.832 and get another file collision warning for /usr/share/man.ecompress.dir. So, it looks like more than two packages have this collision, should this be fixed? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge libwww-perl 2. 3. Actual Results: Package will not install Expected Results: Install
Did more research. Rebuilt findutils 4.5.5 and problem goes away. I upgraded glibc which apparently causes this.
