This is fixed in >=dev-util/git-1.6.5.7. (In reply to comment #0) > I don't know (yet) whether this fails in the other order, if git installs the > file only if not already present. IIRC, it doesn't: git doesn't install it, if it's already present. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 296310 ***
Yes, I confirmed for myself later that everything is fine as long as dev-perl/Error is installed before dev-util/git.
