1 emerge complains that icu (details below) will overwrite files that MAY
2 belong to other packages. But in fact none do. The suggestion is to
3 ignore the collisions. Does that mean I should simply rm the files
4 before retrying the emerge?

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