[gentoo-user] portage-2.2 + collision protect

[gentoo-user] portage-2.2 + collision protect

[Markos Chandras]

Hello,

I ve upgraded to portage-2.2 . From that time i am having a problem. When 
portage finds a collision between two files during the merge time , it complains 
and doesnt merge the new package. The weird thing is that i do not have 
collision-protect under FEATURES on /etc/make.conf file

Any idea how to deal with that?

Thanks

Check to see which other package owns the collided file. If none, it's
probably safe to delete it & emerge the new package (which will
replace that file anyway). That's what I do.

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...

What about protect-owned, do you have that? It is like
collision-protect, but it blocks you from overwriting files KNOWN to
belong to other packages (where collisiion-protect will block any file
on disk, even if it has no owning-package)

There are also environment variables which explicitly protect/override
collision detection for directories, regardless of the features
setting.

This is my FEATURES line

FEATURES="parallel-fetch buildpkg candy fixpackages ccache sandbox"

Could some of these be responsible for the collision problem?

You don't have -collision-protect either, so it could be on by default in
your profile. What do you get from

emerge --info | grep FEATURES

Why is it that when you transport something by car it's called shipment,
but when you transport it by ship it's called cargo?

Ah that got me some extra features

FEATURES="buildpkg candy ccache distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch 
preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch"

So , as you can see protect-owned is on as you told me before

What if I add under FEATURES , -protect-owned? . Could this solve my problem?

Yes, in the same way that disconnecting the warning lamp fixes the low oil 
pressure problem in your car :(

I agree that this is a wrong way to fix it. First of all am gonna fill a bug 
about amarok and I ll act accordingly
