Hi, devs

sys-apps/procps-2.0.6-r2/CONTENTS:obj /usr/bin/uptime
sys-apps/sh-utils-2.0j-r4/CONTENTS:obj /usr/bin/uptime

Yep, if you're having problems with running 'uptime' then
re-install sys-apps/procps and you should be good to go.

But what is the deeper fix going to be?  How is the overwriting
of another package's file(s) planned to be handled in the future?

Karltk had an idea that only a newer version of the *same*
package may overwrite a file..  Not being terribly concerned
with what the actual solution is, I ask in hopes to get some
insight on where we're going in this regard.

Cheers
