[gentoo-amd64] Tellico stopped working

[Paul Stear]

Hi all,
I have been using tellico for a few years now to hold details of my dvd 
collection.
Today version 1.2.14 would not start, it just flashed on and off on screen.  
Revdep-rebuild did not report any problems.
So I decided to unmask tellico 2.0 and install it but it failed with file 
collisions.
It looks as if the collisions are with version 1.2.14, no help on how to 
resolve this is given in the logs etc.
I suppose the correct way would be to uninstall version 1.2.14 first and the 
install version 2.0, however this is my question:-
If I uninstall version 1.2.14 and install version 2.0 will it pickup my 
existing database automatically?
Would my database survive the uninstall?
What do I need to do so that all my records are not lost and can be used with 
the new version?

Please help, it would be a disaster if I lost all data.
thanks
Paul

Sorry to reply to my own post.  I have resolved the problem.  I removed the old 
version and then installed version 2.0.  I backed up my data just in case but 
the new version found the data no problem.

FEATURES="-collision-protect" emerge -avu foo

	Just make sure the files it wants to overwrite belong to the old
version and not some other app.
