1 I have been trying to install hal, but no luck. Everytime, I end up
2 getting an error, and couldn't find enough information to resolve the issue:
3
4 >>> Installing sys-apps/hal-0.5.11-r8
5 * checking 171 files for package collisions
6 * This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other
7 * packages (see list below). You can use a command such as `portageq
8 * owners / <filename>` to identify the installed package that owns a
9 * file. If portageq reports that only one package owns a file then do
10 * NOT file a bug report. A bug report is only useful if it identifies at
11 * least two or more packages that are known to install the same file(s).
12 * If a collision occurs and you can not explain where the file came from
13 * then you should simply ignore the collision since there is not enough
14 * information to determine if a real problem exists. Please do NOT file
15 * a bug report at http://bugs.gentoo.org unless you report exactly which
16 * two packages install the same file(s). Once again, please do NOT file
17 * a bug report unless you have completely understood the above message.
18 *
19 * Detected file collision(s):
20 *
21 * /usr/lib64/libhal.so.1.0.0
22 * /usr/lib64/libhal.la
23 * /usr/lib64/libhal.a
24 * /usr/lib64/libhal-storage.so.1.0.0
25 * /usr/lib64/libhal-storage.la

35 * Searching all installed packages for file collisions...
36 *
37 * Press Ctrl-C to Stop
38 *
39 * None of the installed packages claim the file(s).
40 *
41 * Package 'sys-apps/hal-0.5.11-r8' merged despite file collisions. If
42 * necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole content of the
43 * above message.

46 Hal is still not installed. It doesn't show under /var/db/pkg/sys-apps/
47
48 Any one got in the same situation ?
