[gentoo-user] file collision on net-libs/neon-0.29.3

2010-06-22 Thread Mick 
Please remind me what we are supposed to do when we get:

 * Package 'net-libs/neon-0.29.3' NOT merged due to file collisions. If
 * necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole content of the
 * above message.

Checking for file ownership gives me:

# portageq owners / /usr/bin/neon-config  
net-misc/neon-0.29.3
/usr/bin/neon-config

# portageq owners / /usr/include/neon/ne_207.h
net-misc/neon-0.29.3
/usr/include/neon/ne_207.h

and so on.  How come that I cannot install net-misc/neon-0.29.3 due to file 
collisions, when it is this package which owns the files in the first place?

You could force installation with FEATURES=-collision-protect -protect-
owned emerge neon. Or emerge -c remove neon first if it is already 
installed.

Strange! So it is installed already? Did you chaneg USE flags, so it gets 
emerged again? Or did something go wrong when installing it the last time?

I have no idea, I wouldn't think what you see is possible at all.
