maildrop, netqmail, courier-imap all install the same file(s) leading to a
file collision.  See bug #61116 for the gory details.  Basically, with
-tools, we do not intall them.

Tying conflicting files to a USE flag does not make me happy either but
it was better than status quo.  An argument can be made though to not
enable the tools flag by default.

 Hello list,
 
 yesterday I wanted to emerge -uNDa world, at which point emerge said it 
 couldn't emerge because maildrop 2.5.4 could not be installed on the same 
 system 
 as netqmail 1.06. Silly as I was, I removed maildrop, not knowing it was 
 required by qmail-scanner, which I use for spam checking.

OK so I emerged maildrop with the --nodeps option to get things going again, 
but still wondering how others have dealt with the fact that netqmail and 
maildrop may no longer exist on the same machine.

Kind regards,

Henk.
 
 Result: no mail is picked up by my server any more. Of course I could return 
 to using teh qmail internal scanner, however then I lose the spam checking 
 right?
 
 Thanks for your help.
 
 Kind regards,
 
 Henk.
