I get the following errors when trying to merge sys-libs/ss-1.37 (a dependency of e2fsprogs) * checking 10 files for package collisions existing file /usr/bin/mk_cmds is not owned by this package existing file /usr/lib/libss.a is not owned by this package existing file /usr/lib/libss.so is not owned by this package existing file /usr/share/ss/ct_c.awk is not owned by this package existing file /usr/share/ss/ct_c.sed is not owned by this package existing file /usr/include/ss/ss.h is not owned by this package existing file /usr/include/ss/ss_err.h is not owned by this package existing file /usr/share/man/man1/mk_cmds.1.gz is not owned by this package * spent 0.0104970932007 seconds checking for file collisions * This package is blocked because it wants to overwrite * files belonging to other packages (see messages above). * If you have no clue what this is all about report it * as a bug for this package on http://bugs.gentoo.org I believe this is similar to the bug #96967 I just filed, in that these are packages that once were part of e2fsprogs.
