Found two on my system: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
* "/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults -> /etc/X11/app-defaults" is |
| 10 |
installed by several X11 apps (media-gfx/xfig, x11-misc/seyon, |
| 11 |
x11-misc/xvkbd, and i would not be surprised there are others) |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
* "/usr/share/cups/model/foomatic-ppds -> /usr/share/ppd" is |
| 14 |
installed by both net-print/foomatic-db and net-print/hplip. |

Maybe this particular packages could be hacked to avoid need for |
| 17 |
the symlinks (or the symlinks should be installed only by some |
| 18 |
lower level, depended-on, packages?), but anyway it would be hard |
| 19 |
to do a strict sanity check of the whole tree. And letting that to |
| 20 |
"collision-protect" feature doesn't sound really like a short term |
| 21 |
solution neither. So, basically, i don't see how you could safely |
| 22 |
change this portage behavior atm (although i agree it would be a |
| 23 |
good thing once done). |
