[gentoo-user] File collision dvtm

[tuxic]

Hi,

while updateing I got a file collision.

The error message starts with a lengthy explanation what to
do NOT (reporting a bug, if there is only one ackage affected)
but it is say nothing WHAT to do, when one package is affected.

So,...

One package is affected...what can I do?

Cheers

Printout:
* This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other
 * packages (see list below). You can use a command such as `portageq
 * owners / ` to identify the installed package that owns a
 * file. If portageq reports that only one package owns a file then do
 * NOT file a bug report. A bug report is only useful if it identifies at
 * least two or more packages that are known to install the same file(s).
 * If a collision occurs and you can not explain where the file came from
 * then you should simply ignore the collision since there is not enough
 * information to determine if a real problem exists. Please do NOT file
 * a bug report at https://bugs.gentoo.org/ unless you report exactly
 * which two packages install the same file(s). See
 * https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Knowledge_Base:Blockers for tips on how
 * to solve the problem. And once again, please do NOT file a bug report
 * unless you have completely understood the above message.

If you cannot wait until it is fixed, have a look at `man 5 make.conf` 
for COLLISION_IGNORE, collision-protect and protect-owned. You can use 
`infocmp` to compare colliding terminfo description files and see if 
they differ and which one to keep. I would treat ncurses as the master.
