When emerging nginx, the following is displayed at the very end of the process:- * Detected file collision(s): * * /var/www/localhost/htdocs/index.html * * Searching all installed packages for file collisions... * * Press Ctrl-C to Stop * * None of the installed packages claim the file(s). * * Package 'www-servers/nginx-1.2.5' merged despite file collisions. If * necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole content of the * above message. Giving a few seconds to cancel the action before blindly proceeding is unacceptable. In this case, the file /var/www/localhost/htdocs/index.html was a live web page on my apache installation. No attempt was made by the package installer to backup the original file.
This is the same issue as bug #449136 but we really need that fix applied to stable 1.2.5 or we need ~1.2.6 stabilized ASAP. This is a very rude thing for a webserver package to do.
