Since the last portage update (2.0.51 resp. 2.0.51-r2) i have this kind of error quite some times. I assume that the ebuild should add some entries to the perllocal.pod file rather than simply overwriting it, but this will not caught with the gaim ebuild (hope that's right, i'm not a perl guru at all). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. put collision-protect in your FEATURES 2. emerge gaim 3. Actual Results: the ebuild stopped when trying to merge the already built binary package (I have buildpkg in FEATURES) with the above message.

This seems be solved with the gaim-1.0.2-r1 release, at least I don't get any errors when merging that release. As rel. 1.0.2-r1 is stable this bug can imo be closed.

Same with belongs -I, -Io, -Ip, -o, -p ...and i don't have either of the two owning pkgs found by the original reporter. And i can't locate any file with a similar timestamp in /usr/portage or /var/tmp/portage, and below those. The only explanation i can think of would be of a pkg which i re-emerged later, with different USE flags or smthing. Also, notice that the path to my perllocal.pod is a bit different from the one of the original bug reporter. According to slocate, this is the only perllocal.pod on this system here.
I added collision-protect to my FEATURES and was able to emerge gaim-1.5.0 without incident. But then have a look at this: # equery belongs /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux/perllocal.pod [ Searching for file(s) /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux/perllocal.pod in *... ] dev-util/subversion-1.1.3 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux/perllocal.pod) games-arcade/frozen-bubble-1.0.0-r5 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux/perllocal.pod) net-im/sendxmpp-0.0.6 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux/perllocal.pod) net-im/gaim-1.5.0 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux/perllocal.pod) net-irc/irssi-0.8.9-r1 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux/perllocal.pod) Not sure why I'm not getting the collision warning anymore.
is this still reproduceable with 1.5 ?
Tester its still reproducable on 1.5. As shown below.

perl herd: what's the current status with collision-protect and perllocal.pod ?
*** Bug 120461 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The current status is that you should be doing like everyone else ;) There's been a function in the perl-modules eclass for about a year now to help with the perllocal.pod.
I can confirm that it is still broken with gaim-1.5.0 >>> Completed installing gaim-1.5.0 into /mnt/tmp/portage/gaim-1.5.0/image/ * checking 419 files for package collisions existing file /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/i686-linux-thread-multi/perllocal.pod is not owned by this package * spent 0.163514852524 seconds checking for file collisions package net-im/gaim-1.5.0 NOT merged
Created attachment 84018 [details, diff] fixes problem with perllocalpod by means of perl-app.eclass The attached patch against the net-im/gaim folder imho should fix the issue for 1.5.0, 2.0.0_beta2-r2, and 2.0.0_beta3 with the fixlocalpod function from the perl-app eclass.
I added the patch for the 1.5.0 release to an overlay and it solved the issue. Gaim installed without error. The perllocal.pod file is not owned by any package. Didn't try for the 2.* releases.
I've added the eclass to inherit on both ebuilds. This should fix the problem. Closing bug, please re-open if there are still issues.
