This usually happens when I am trying to install slotted packages like 
amarok-1.94

I am using amarok-1.4.10 and I am trying to install amarok-1.94. They are on 
different slots but portage keeps complaining about collisions. Since I do not 
have collision-protect on FEATURES, portage MUST merge the package even if 
it warns me...
