x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.552-r2 won't compile due to a file conflict, |
| 2 |
but portageq does not see it. |

Background: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I've been masking out the new xorg server, but things have started to |
| 7 |
break, so I'm giving in. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
The process has been shaky, and I'm currently running something |
| 10 |
different from what I've compiled -- an unstable and worrisome |
| 11 |
condition. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The last piece seems to be the ATI drivers, which have forced me to |
| 14 |
reconfigure the kernel 2 or 3 times. Fortunately I was able to do |
| 15 |
that before any of the recompilations that are now out of sync with my |
| 16 |
running system. |
| 17 |

The problem: Compiling the driver errors out with this message |

* checking 126 files for package collisions |

* This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other |
| 23 |
* packages (see list below). You can use a command such as `portageq |
| 24 |
* owners / <filename>` to identify the installed package that owns a |
| 25 |
* file. If portageq reports that only one package owns a file then do |
| 26 |
* NOT file a bug report. A bug report is only useful if it identifies at |
| 27 |
* least two or more packages that are known to install the same file(s). |
| 28 |
* If a collision occurs and you can not explain where the file came from |
| 29 |
* then you should simply ignore the collision since there is not enough |
| 30 |
* information to determine if a real problem exists. Please do NOT file |
| 31 |
* a bug report at http://bugs.gentoo.org unless you report exactly which |

>>> Failed to install x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.552-r2, Log file: |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
The log has no information not in the error message above. The |
| 53 |
portageq command suggested in the message names only one package: |
| 54 |
xorg-server, but not the ati driver. But the file is clearly listed |
| 55 |
earlier among the files it will check for collisions. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Anybody know how to work around this? |
