Once ftpbase has benn installed, I cannot reinstall it from a binary package. It complains about file collisions, but I think this is a ebuild logic error. Reinstalling with compilation (not by using a binary package) works fine.

FILESDIR isn't valid in pkg_* See #152474 and <http://dev.gentoo.org/~tanderson/pms/eapi-2-approved/pms.html#TBL-11-27-1>. I guess we can remove the collision check?
(In reply to comment #1) > I guess we can remove the collision check? I can't see what makes these two files special from any other configuration files. IMHO we should rely on portage's normal configuration file handling facilities (dispach-conf and friends).
removing the collisions is fine _now_, but it's there because the code long predates these functions in portage
Collision protection inside ebuild removed in net-ftp/ftpbase-0.01-r2. I'm not going to maintain this package, just fixing a bug in unmaintained package that hit me too.
