> * It seems to me that we would have this overlap problem even if it was a build element and not a compose element, so the question of _why are these files overlapping_ is relevant > > * Does it make more sense for the overlapping element to use the [overlap whitelist](https://docs.buildstream.build/master/format_public.html#overlap-whitelist) ? There are two elements that provide the same file, one from FDSDK (so I cannot edit it) and one in my project (so I can edit it). If I add overlap whitelist to my element that would allow the version of the file from my element to replace the one from FDSDK. However, I want to do the oposite. I want the version of the file from my element to _be replaced by_ the one from FDSDK. --- For context my work around is to add the following to the element in my project: ``` config: (>): # This file causes overlapping issues with trace from perf.bst - | rm %{install-root}/usr/bin/trace ``` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
