1 Howdy,

3 While attempting to try the latest version of ruby-gnome2 (0.19.1), I
4 copied the 0.19.0 ebuilds to my local overlay then renamed them to the
5 new version. I then downloaded the ruby-gnome2-all-0.19.1.tar.gz,
6 placed it in /usr/portage/distfiles, then used "ebuild ruby-...
7 digest" for each of the packages to create the Manifest file.
8
9 When I attempt to emerge the updated packages, the first package, ruby-
10 glib2-0.19.1, errors with a detected file collision on /usr/lib/
11 pkgconfig. This is a directory and thus emerge finds every package
12 that has installed a file in it.
13
14 Now my guess is that some code that attempts to check for conflicts
15 within the /usr/lib/pkgconfig directory is being given an blank
16 package name, thus is checking the directory. My problem is I don't
17 see where the conflict code is even called. Anyone have any hints or
18 know where the documentation is?

20 TIA,
21 Roy
