Subject: [gentoo-amd64] File collision with courier-imap and maildrop

1 Hi,
2
3 Trying to install courier-imap and maildrop and encountering file
4 collisions.
5
6 Is there any way to solve this? Some way to force it?
7
8 Guessing that the files are the same as courier-imap and maildrop come
9 from the same main courier-mta.
10
11 Here is the error message.
12 ------------------ start ----------------------
13 * Messages for package mail-filter/maildrop-2.0.4:
14
15 * This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other
16 * packages (see list below). Add "collision-protect" to FEATURES in
17 * make.conf if you would like the merge to abort in cases like this. You
18 * can use a command such as `portageq owners / <filename>` to identify
19 * the installed package that owns a file. If portageq reports that only
20 * one package owns a file then do NOT file a bug report. A bug report is
21 * only useful if it identifies at least two or more packages that are
22 * known to install the same file(s). If a collision occurs and you can
23 * not explain where the file came from then you should simply ignore the
24 * collision since there is not enough information to determine if a real
25 * problem exists. Please do NOT file a bug report at
26 * http://bugs.gentoo.org unless you report exactly which two packages
27 * install the same file(s). Once again, please do NOT file a bug report
28 * unless you have completely understood the above message.
29 *
30 * Detected file collision(s):
31 *
32 * /usr/share/man/man1/maildirmake.1.bz2
33 * /usr/share/man/man8/deliverquota.8.bz2
34 * /usr/bin/maildirmake
