Still puzzling. maildrop, netqmail, courier-imap all install the same file(s) leading to a file collision. See bug #61116 for the gory details. Basically, with -tools, we do not intall them. Tying conflicting files to a USE flag does not make me happy either but it was better than status quo. An argument can be made though to not enable the tools flag by default. -- Eray Aslan
