I have just installed unix2dos utility
(never had a need to use it before) and
just after that tried to install dos2unix
but the installation of dos2unix failed
complaining on the fact that
"app-text/unix2dos" is blocking app-text/dos2unix-6.0.5
I find it very strange as I think that if someone
needs unix2dos utility he usually also needs dos2unix
utility, especially taking into account that unix2dos
by default overwrites its input file.
This is the output from the emerge command:
# emerge --ask dos2unix
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] app-text/dos2unix-6.0.5 USE="nls -debug"

Any thought?
