The "FEATURES=collision-protect" didn't work.  I assume I entered the
command correctly because protage didn't give me grief.

I have no idea how to determine what is the offending package because I
don't know what the path is where the offending package is.  This is the
message I get at the end when emerge bombs:

Package 'sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.40.9' NOT merged due to file collisions.
 * If necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole content of the

I've looked at emerge.log, but nothing sheds any light.  And if this
isn't where I'm supposed to look, I'm not sure where I should be looking.
