Howdy,
While attempting to try the latest version of ruby-gnome2 (0.19.1), I
copied the 0.19.0 ebuilds to my local overlay then renamed them to the
new version. I then downloaded the ruby-gnome2-all-0.19.1.tar.gz,
placed it in /usr/portage/distfiles, then used "ebuild ruby-...
digest" for each of the packages to create the Manifest file.
When I attempt to emerge the updated packages, the first package, ruby-
glib2-0.19.1, errors with a detected file collision on /usr/lib/
pkgconfig. This is a directory and thus emerge finds every package
that has installed a file in it.
Now my guess is that some code that attempts to check for conflicts
within the /usr/lib/pkgconfig directory is being given an blank
package name, thus is checking the directory. My problem is I don't
see where the conflict code is even called. Anyone have any hints or
know where the documentation is?
TIA,
Roy
