Yes. If you think these files might be important, then you could back them |
| 9 |
up first. Apparently they belong to the icu stuff you are going to remerge |
| 10 |
anyway, so deleting should be safe I think. But it's strange that those |
| 11 |
files do not belong to any package. |

Instead of removing them it would be easier to set FEATURES to -collision- |
| 14 |
protect. And with FEATURES=keepwork you will not have to recompile icu. So, |
| 15 |
I would do this: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
FEATURES="-collision-protect keepwork" emerge -1a dev-libs/icu |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Remember that you have to delete stuff in /var/tmp/portage/dev- |
| 20 |
libs/icu-4.6.1 manually afterwards. |
